I've got an asus P5N32-E sli mobo (nvidia 680i SLi) with soundmax HD audio soundcard. ihavent used it for quite a few months ( during the rains) and now that i'm back home, the souncard doesnt work. the front ports are working, but the back ports refuse to work. funnily, i hear sound from one channel if i insert the jack halfway in. is my soundcard frizzeld? if yes, which soundcard would be an appropriate replacement? I need atleast 5.1 with good quality for occasional music and gaming (DVD quality appreciated)
