However, as odd as it seems, it actually HAD effect if I disabled the Aux entry. I will remove the analog cable for the DVD drive now! I right now have the headset on, with its volume control set all the way up (PCM is at about 71% as I have a surround setting, and have to balance Surround and PCM to be able to "properly" hear the 4 channels output). I must admit I was rather surprised that this actually had any effect in the end! Thanks again to all who responded! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEyZGpXM+XOp70dwoRAsMdAJ0TIVF78YS/u9dhFxaT6ogYeg/NmQCdGoOg aXEfaDku1aUnrnucKpq06P8= =hqz0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
