I am currently using the onboard sound from my Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe and want to know two things....

So, does Gateway make it? If not, who's clone is it?
I have read thread after thread about all the others...

I am planning on running my audio out from my PC via the SPDIF into my A/V receiver. Then run two speakers from the receiver to use as a 2.0 system. The reason, is I want to use Klipsch's Reference series RSX-5 speakers for my computer. When I do this, I will lose my low-end due to not having...
