I have no luck getting the microphone to work with nForce3 250. Codec manufacturer: Realtek ALC850
Installed the latest driver from NVIDIA, but simply can;t get the microphone working.

Bought a C-Media CM8737.
Got microphone working, but when other party starts talking the sound locks up (and sometime my network or even the home partition).

Before I buy yet an other sound card I would like to know if someone has actually a sound working reliably for IP telephony like Skype ?

My local retailer has a Creative Sounblaster Live V5.1 Will it do the job ?

It should. I used such card with IP telephony successfully.

I actually installed sound card Creative Sounblaster Live V5.1. It works great.

Mandrake 10.0 caveat warning !
There is a caveat installing a sound card under Mandrake 10.0 Mandrake keeps a cache of all previously installed drivers and will install ALL of them in modprobe.conf.
You have to remove them manaully and the reboot your PC.
