X5000 Having Ethernet Adapter Issues

[Debaser]

Welcome to the voodoo of the PCI and PCI-e cards of the X5K.

Hit and miss it seems for ethernet and sound cards.

How is your sound card doing? Can you play audio for 15-30mins. with out lockup or no audio?

Thanks eliyahu

I just placed an order for an M-Audio Revolution 5.1 card. According the Hyperion's site it is a compatible Envy card. Was cheap enough, will give it a go.

Acill - your card will need to be replaced.

Yeah I guess the SIIG cards are quite flakey... or at least flakey with X5000's.

I will let you know how mine goes when I get it. Aaron just needs to find a new card to go with.

Just an FYI - I received my M-Audio 5.1 PCI soundcard and it works like a champ. very very happy to have stable sound on my X5000.
