my question is: If I use a PCI sound card such as Alchemy, will I have sound out from the card only, or do I have to replace the Logic board in order to have sound out through the mini plug? Also, could this be something other than the logic board, such as something between the logic board and the sound out mini-plug? I have rebuilt the DT, zapped PRAM, pressed the CUDA button, ran Norton 6 and Techtool Pro 3 (neither could detect a problem.) Also, do any of you have a board for sale that would work?
