"I mentioned
changing jumpers around earlier; this is a good start for actual mods. Look on the very upper left hand of the card, to the right of the screw, where you'll see 'JP3/JP3', and settings. Notice one says Line-Out, and the other Speaker-Out. Now, we don't want things getting amplified twice, do we? So, find JP3/4. Go over to the right about an inch, to the jumper bank labelled Front Audio. Now go down, and you'll see a chip marked U14.Directly below this are the jumpers in question. Move both of them over one notch, so they short pins one and two. Congratulations, you just modded the card! Doesn't that feel good? Now, these results have not been verified, but I thought there was increased bass, for one, and an overall tightening of the sound with this tweak. YMMV."

I found JP3 and 4 on the card, but which one are pin 1 and pin 2? How do you tell? Is it from left to right - PIN 1, PIN2, PIN3?

Acording to this picture, CHAINTECH AV-710.http://www.short-media.com/images/mm/Reviews/Hardware/Audio/chaintech_av710/product/frontaudiojumpers.jpg (JP3 and JP4 are located under "U14"), are both jumper short pin 2 and 3?

I have the same card, just upgraded to the x-fi and I really cant tell much a diffrence. I think that cards is awsome.

Best thing you can do for sound is upgrade the drivers if you didnt do so already, the included ones just are horrible. Off there site get the new ones and you get alot better sound and much more options.
