Hi, Thanks for the bulletin. That isn't my main problem, though. My issue seems to be that, when the second soundcard is installed, it completely overrides the default to the point where the default doesn't even show up to be selected. So, it looks as if hte comptuer only has the one soundcard, and not two.
