Hi Tony,
Anything under "Sound Effects"? Or "DSP Sound Effects?" What do you find
under "Adjust audio?"

Hi Flor,
Yes, I did send S and S a system information report as directed by them so
I'm sure they would have seen my sound card type!
Sigmatel they refer to in their reply as posted!
Is that a problematic sound card?
Any other thoughts?
I know of people who have also XP and Jaws 8 with no apparent probs!
Thanks,
Tony.
