Al,

Got it to work using either the front or back inputs! I used the mini-plug
and it works fine. I wish the composit" RCA type" audio inputs on the front
would work.

I got the front inputs to work after opening the Sigmatel Control Menu
(located on my task bar near the clock) and then selected the "SigmaTel
universal Jacks." Here you can configure all the sound card inout/output
ports ("mini-plug" type) to any configuration you can think of!

I still wonder if re-installing the audio drivers would correct the composit
(RCA type") audio problem??
