[Sounds]
SystemDefault=,
is not a problem. I don't know what the heck it means either but the exact
same thing is in one of my machines (not K7S5A) that's working perfectly fine.
Off hand I'd say you got the wrong driver but I can't give you the exact
'file name' because mine is a refurb and didn't come with the CD (for me to
look at). And since I'm running XP that's only one I downloaded.
The other thing I can pass on is don't use PCI slot 1, the one next to AGP.
It don't work worth spit.
Also, on-board devices are 'PCI cards', without the 'card', meaning they
'use' a PCI slot, like a card. If you have any PCI cards plugged then try
moving it to a different slot because if it's in the same slot the sound
chip is using then it could be interfering.
