Thanx very much. I can't wait for the shops to open 
) I'll let you know
for sure if it worked.
I've tried about 4 different drivers, both nVidia and Realtec and none
worked. I began to wonder if it was a mic socket failure, but haven't got
time to return it for checking...

I agree completely. Most of all I am pleased with the price of it. I
remember my previous m/b (GA-7VAXP), but it was 2x more expensive...

Unfortunately it didn't work 
( Neither AC97 nor nVidia... Neither Mic
input nor Line in...
Any other suggestions, anyone?

Thats wierd...
BTW, I’ve also just found a small fault with the mic socket. Sometimes
i have to wiggle the plug some to make contact with the socket
sometimes even having to hold it
It does work without the stereo to mono adapter, but the adapter makes
a better connection.
Not a driver problem after all
