I suppose some people need to play, especially since MB seems to last about 15 minutes before a new version comes out! I went through 3 MB's before I found one that worked OK, even then I picked one with onboard optical spdif and found that it does not work under Linux, so I am still having to use a pci slot with my sound blaster card.
