Clever!

Didn't want to make it too shocking, with conficker and all

Well remembered/spotted. S! to them all too.

I want this.. http://mail.google.com/mail/help/autopilot/index.html

Looking like this is a tough nut to crack. The static could be caused by so many things, as it is an onboard device it may be more sensitive to cross talk from other components, it could also be a faulty component. Sadly I cannot think of any other things to look at, you have tried drivers, checked your settings, proved it is not TS itself at fault, and confirmed all audio cables (including the CD/DVD drive audio cable if fitted) are secure and not routed past high EMF emittance devices such as the GPU.. As refitting the sound card appears to be a non-starter it looks as though you may have to explore the possibility of using a USB head set

Does your CD/DVD drive have a cable connecting directly to the Mobo (other than the IDE/SATA cable) ? When you go into advanced sound properties (as per images below) what input devices show? Make sure that Microphone is the selected input device. (you have probably already done this). Audigy again:

I like it

It is based at Duxford, I have a high quality (HD) video of it that my brother and I did year before last, and a sound track of it starting up if anyone is interested...

Great topic Snacko

'Tornado' is the newly minted British steam loco: http://www.a1steam.com/

Great A lot easier than rebuilding too!

The thing is, his speech came to the public's attention through two bloggers, the UK press ignored it completely until it became a web phenomenon. Some startling figures quoted. 'Every child is born with a £20,000 debt, and servicing the interest on that debt alone is going to cost more than educating that child'

Politics aside, you have to hand it to this guy for being a great orator. A lot of what he says rings true, yet this spiel got very little (as in NONE) press coverage..

Which in layman parlance = 'I own the land and paid for the track and train' Joking aside it is great to see those beauties alive, and they have made one from scratch too recently haven't they?

This will help Jedi

What made me really chuckle is it was there for a year before his parentals found out

May attention span is too short! I'm there from bottom right, 4 up and 7 left.

I'll be copying it to http://honorourveterans.com (or http://honourourveterans.com for the Canadians and us Brits) once I have transferred the site to a new server, I'm consolidating it to another server due to financial constraints. And no..it's not on the DangerDogz server, that is exclusive to us!

JensenPark asked me to convert this PowerPoint presentation. Very Poignant. S! to the Heros. A Different View

Offlicence was open, mildly toasted and really pleased to hear you are up and running again

I will lurk on TS Sid

RMA may not be your solution, it is not hardware related and there may be a charge for software/user created issues. You could try system restore from the command prompt, providing you know the logon details for the administrator account (wish I had a quid for every time I tell someone to create a password to log on with): 1. Hold F8 to get start up options. 2. Select Safe Mode With A Command Prompt 3. Logon using Administrator and password (if you have a password for your account and it was auto-logging on use the password for that account). 4. Run this command at the command shell (DOS Box): %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe then press enter. 5. Follow on screen prompts. This will only work if you have the password (if it is blank then try just hitting return) AND you have not disabled system restore. Again, for others to bear in mind, You MUst Always Log ON to Your System With A Password, it is your first line of defence against malware/trojans/hackers and is your last resort if your driver install goes tits up, because until you logon XP keeps a copy of the old configuration, once you logon it is destroyed and you cannot easily roll-back with Last Known Good.

After post keep pressing F8, like Pete says, until you get safe mode option. Don't select safe mode (unless you have auto logon enabled) what you need to look for is 'Last Known Good'. This will restore your system to the last time you successfully logged on. If you have auto logon enabled (not good IMHO see above for one reason) then you will need to try safe mode. If that fails you are now entering the repair arena, and for this (unless the repair console was installed which is highly unlikely) you will need your OS install disk. Is it XP or Vista?
