Also, can't wait until October for a maybe working driver. I remember it too a bit for them to bake in Win 8 support, and even then it wasn't excellent.
And thanks Freedom, I'll try that driver. To be honest, the sound card works, it's just I have no control over it now, and it's hit or miss. Sometimes I have sound when I boot, sometimes I don't.
