Galen Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I have a motherboard with ALC880 audio, but I cannot get the onboard 7.1 sound to work, though I get great quality audio in and out, it's just two channels either way. It's pretty much a dead end, and I have spent hours wracking my brain around every possible combination I could find. So I want to end the problem and get some sort of an add-on device, either a PCI card or an external USB device. I'm asking because last time I checked for sound support, sure, it WAS supported and works great... just not all the channels. I'm sorry if this is redundant, but I would like to get some useful notes from people on their hardware... which hardware, approximate cost, OS version / driver status, and any gotchas.
