    Bought me recently a new MoBo: P8H67, installed it, killed Realtek onboard in the BIOS, all thus far goes splendid.
    Put in SoundMax (from my P5E Lifestyle), hardware checks ok.
    Install driver... and here things go awkward: no matter what I try: SoundMax Hi Def is not found/recognized.
    Tried both the DVD-soft that came with me P5E, as well as online new drivers, to no use...

    Reason for SoundMax: I was slightly baffled by the power behind the tiny card, it was literally mindblowing (over my JBL's).
    This power is not found on Realtek hardware, hence.

    Prob: I want to keep using the tiny SoundMax, but I desperately need a driver.

    Suggestions?

    Thank you all:
