Does windows have their own drivers for the sound that is on the mobo? SoundMax is kinda slowing my boot from 4 progress bars to 16, thats a major difference!
On this Asus mobo, you can connect HD Audio and or Analog AC37 thing. I was thinking of just not installing the SoundMax driver and use Window's own driver, do you think this will work? Also will I be able to use the Optical and Coaxial connectors too for a true 5.1?
Edit: Ok i just changed the settings on the bios from HD to AC37 and when I boot it only takes 4-5 passes/progress bar. However, i dont have sound atm, it says "You changed the sound configuration ..... you must install SoundMax" not the exact wording but similar.
