I'm sure there's something I'm overlooking. It's an ASUS A7V8X-X, and it has a built-in sound card. The driver's there, but I can get no sound. The speakers work; you can hear them when you plug them in the case. I've got to be overlooking something, but can't figure what. …

I'm buying a new PC for my gaming-obsessed son's birthday and I'm trying to figure out if there is any advantage to (very expensive) machines such as Voodoo compared to a high-end Dell (for example) with the best nVidia PCIe card. In other words is it worth the extra $2000 …
