gambcl's Sandybridge Build - Core i7-2600K - GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3

Does your dongle allow wake from sleep?

Remaining Issues:
Only minor issue so far, I will update this post if I solve them:
- Machine sleeps and wakes fine, but it will usually wake itself after sleeping for about 10 minutes and I don't know what is causing that yet.

Did you ever figure out the automatic wake from sleep issue? For some reason my machine just started doing that last night and I hadn't changed any config files or settings...

NOTE: Only works in Windows!

Curious as to why you installed another HD Sound Card. Your board already has HD audio on it, plus enough connections to shake a stick at. Do you have a recording studio or additional hardware that you need the extra inputs for??

Just wondering...TIA.

Hi boid,

No I don't think it does, but I will do some testing this weekend and update with the results.

Hi SooieSide,

No, not yet, but I am mainly using it as a windows machine at the moment, so it isn't bothering me too much. If I ever get it sorted I will update this thread.

Hi MacAppreciator,

Well I built the machine to use as a combined windows games/development machine, as well as a mackintosh. So I put the Creative card in so I would have decent sound support in windows games, but to be honest I haven't even used it yet

Obviously this card doesn't work in Mac OS X, when I'm running Lion I get sound output through my Apple Cinema Display with no drivers needed.
