Plus, I can't control the outputs like I want to/could with the kX drivers for my old card. I'm really starting to get fed up with it and will probably just end up buying a nice pci-e one sometime.
If they just made some decent drivers that had "mic boost" all would be fine. Creative Labs makes good hardware, but they have always been poorly run with terrible driver support. I don't see how they stay on top. I really don't have the money for a new sound card, but having everyone say they can't hear me in vent is getting old.

Anyone at all had luck with the built in junker sound card that came with this board? The sound quality is not too bad, but I've got PCI Audigy 2 ZX in my old rig I'm about to throw in here because of poor driver support by CL.
