8K3A+ onboard audio! help!

[ablaze]

I installed the Avance audio driver like instructed in the manual..but when i fired up the sound manager..there's no speaker tab?? ie. i can't enable 4/6 point sound? and I only get sound from front two speakers?? what the hell..

tried downloading the latest avance sound driver from the avance website too..but its not go! doesn't the 8K3A have 6 point audio support?? argh..:nervous:

argh saw epox tech post this:

The ALC201A audio chipset uses 2-channel audio.
The ALC650 audio chipsets uses 6-channel audio.

EP-8K3A REV 1.1 uses ALC650.

and my sound manager says mine is the damn ALC201A!! wtf!! its stated 6 point audio on the box!!!!!!

This as stated by EPoX Tech USA at amdmb is correct.

so mine is just a rev 1.0 board? isn't it irresponsible to put 6 point audio on the box, and in the manual, and yet on the board itself, its actually just 2 point audio???

mer that kinda makes me mad, here i thought it was just my own fault i couldt get the 6pt sound to work, i was hopin i could ditch my old SB Live! when i got this boared.... mer still stuck with crappy 4pt sound... and feeling a little screwed...

Ohh well im still happy with the board
