No matter what I choose I get the,..
On the system Setting spage I get lots of options and I don't have any idea what any of it means. For example, I assume that ofr Audio output I want Analog, not HDMI or Optical/Coax. And for Audio output device I need somemething that says VIA. I got a VIA 8237 Ice958 and Default. But no matter what i select, or what combinations I select I get nothing. There has got to be a way to determine exactly what my settings should be.

I think that is just me fiddling with it. There isn't any useful info like what my settings should be.
