Ok so my mobo came with SoundMax HD audio software. Only problem is when I look online I can see that there is apparently a SoundMax manager but wherever I look for drivers for vista none of them come with the manager, they are driver only. So I am trying to figure out how on earth that is going to work. Also apparently according to my bios my front panel input can only be AC' 97 or HD audio, which I think is just preinstalled on vista. So with soundmax it doesn't recognize my front ports. Here is one last question. If I were to get a soundcard and just turn off in the bios my HD audio setup do you think it could run the same audio stream through my speakers and headphones at the same time and do you think my front panel would work? If not then crap, I screwed up with getting my mobo !
