Dude.....this sounds SO AWESOME!
After I installed the DiamondMM card, I had neglected to disable
the onboard audio in the BIOS settings.
Which I have since done.
And, man, this sound kicks the pants off the onboard sound!
I recommend one of these (Diamond MM Xtreme 5.1)
I have the sound going out to both, my 3 speaker PC speaker system (with 
woofer),
AND, out to my stereo system...so, I´ve got total surround sound.

Ya no puedo mas, compartir tus labios!
