You need nForce drivers from http://www.nvidia.com or those that came on your CD.

i know it will need drivers but how do you set it up

All your questions will be answered if you just read the manual. :)

Yes it is better than the Live!

No you do not run both, just one or the other. If you want to run the onboard sound, you need to uninstall/remove the Live! and then turn on the soundstorm in the BIOS.

i did read the manual but it didnt make sense.so the soundstorm is just the onboard sound i thought it was diffrent.so i can use the speakers i have now.

Yessir! You can use your current speakers. :angel:

[Milkkiller]

cool!haha witch input would i plug them into they {speakers} just have one plug.

[-=Gib-McFragger=-]

If I remember correctly, it is the green plug you want. It does say which in the manual though, so just doublecheck.

[Milkkiller]

ok cool

Just a question so that I know, I dont have an nForce board, but I thought that SoundStorm was only for digital output, and that if using anolog, then you are not using SoundStorm? If that is the case, then the Live would be better for gaming than the nForce anolog out.

For more info on Soundstorm just go to www.3dss.com and read the review on it. Very good review of just what it is.

As far as the stuttering in UT2003 goes visit www.nforcershq.com and check out the forums. I think if you are using the dolby digital for the audio you need to edit the config file manually for UT. I've had some issues with hardware accellerated 3d sounds in a lot of the games i have tried. But i am patient and know its mainly a driver issue since it works fine and i haven't played much since upgrading to digital 5.1 speakers.

Remember not to use the standard nForce2 drivers on the A7N8X Deluxe - use the Asus drivers from their website.

Actually all the nforce 2 drivers since 2.03 at least support the Asus mobo. the Chaintech one on the other hand isn't supported. Read the release info
