Hi, Being the proud owner of a Gigabyte GA-7VTXH motherboard, i've got nothing but good things to say about it. Well almost. The one thing that brings this board down (for me) is the shoddy on-board Creative sound!!! No matter what combination of drivers, operating system, BIOS settings, AGP settings, graphics card, memory timings, performance settings and many such other things I try the on-board sound always seeems to play up. It skips, it pops, it squeaks, it hisses. I HATE IT! Is anybody out thre having any success with this? I've noted that it's at its worst with Windows XP and ths latest drivers from Creative's web site (5.12.1.2065). It's driving me up the wall! Before I go out and spend some money on a QUALITY sound product (VideoLogic SonicFury, or as it's otherwise known Turtle Beach Santa Cruz) is there anything more I can try with this piece of s**t on-board CT8850 (a.k.a. SB PCI 128) audio? Thanks, Elliott

Hello, I have fixed a similar problem a couple days ago, although with a different motherboard (ga-7zx). The problem was with the bios. Try upgrading to the latest bios version (really the lastest). Combined with the onboard sound driver on giga-byte site, it works fine, even with XP. Hope it helps.

It does suck! I popped in my old cheapie SB AudioPCI (~$16) on an Win2000 machine, which is much better, even with older drivers. The SBPCI128 (~$20) is a really good basic sound card, if you can get XP drivers. You may want to try the SBPCI128 drivers anyway. Other than that, forget the onboard audio. The mobo runs flawslessly otherwise, so you won't miss it.
