Yes, I shall.
My first step will be to download and install Slim Server because I

As far as I'm aware AC'97 requires that all signals are mixed to 16-bit
48KHz? In windows it's possible to bypass kmixer which does this nasty
stuff but it maybe that your onboard sound does this as well...i.e. all

The humble act of moving power cables away from source or speaker
cables in a stereo setup, for example, can in some cases make an
