Now we are getting somewhere......

Looks like the same card which I have (or close to it..)

OK, a question here - and if you give the wrong answer I am shot down in 
flames, but unlike the Phoenix I will not rise up from the ashes again 
:-) : do you have a jack from the audio card to the speakers (as in, 
say, an external amplifier)?

Ah, hang on, I didn't ask about the BIOS itself but wanted to know if 
you had an onboard audio chip TURNED OFF/unselected in the BIOS and 
therefore only have the PCI Sounblaster Audigy card as the audio device?

OK, look (and I say this in the most delicate way :-) ) IF you don't 
understand what I - or some else asks - the PLEASE simply say so and 
I/we will explain what I/we mean. Put simply, I/we do not know your 
level of expertise so sometimes I/we ask questions which appear to be 
condescending but they are NOT meant to be that. Solving someone's 
problems at long distance be it over the phone or over the internet is 
not all beers and pretzels  (or scotch with beer chasers) :-) .
