The on-board audio on my Biostar socket 754 board is useless for analog 
line-in for stuff like Skype.  The gain wasn't enough.  My old SB Audiology, 
which is seemingly damaged, worked fine.

I don't think that one is an ALC600/800, though.

It's a shame the newer SB cards aren't necessarily compatible.  Someday I'll 
need to replace that Audiology card...  Sigh.
