I have just built a media centre from ANTEC fushion case, AMD X64 Athlon 2 4800+ CPU, 2 Gb RAM, 1.5 TB disks (2x750Gb Samsung 7200 rpm 32Mb cache), DVico dual digital tuner, Mythbuntu (Hardy) X64 OS and systems. The MOBO is a Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H and includes the same sound card as you note above. Getting the sound card to work brought me to your posts. The onboard video, however beat me after a week of trying (ATI HD3200). I bought another ATI card that was listed as supported (HD2400XT) and was again stymied - including the latest catalyst drivers and the supposedly working open source stuff. Put in a NVidia 8600GT 1Gb that I had lying around, put in the restricted drivers and presto, a full operating system. I also resorted to an older DVico Tuner card as the DVico Dual digital 4 wasn't fully supported. Your post has helped me sort through some issues. Much appreciated. Cheers Rod.
