It's a shame the SB8 is what everyone is backward compatible with rather than the 16. It seems there are very few sound cards anymore that let you just play sound without requiring you to set up oodles and oodles of extra stuff. At the moment I think the best way to get sound is to use a USB audio adapter (they may be complicated, but they're standard, and we have a driver), though on the 600E that may not be an option. Russ
