Also have a T5710 but don't have the issues you mention. But anyways you can't go wrong with the usual recommendations like these 2:

• Advance Logic ALS4000 (PCI)
• ESS ES1938S Solo-1 (PCI)

Have them both and they work great. Don't have a preference so would buy the cheapest one you can find.

Thanks for the reply. Can I ask which version of the T5710 do you own? 800mhz or 1200mhz version?

Good deal. I'll try and pick up one of the sound cards you suggested. Thanks for the help

Looked around for these cards on ebay and amazon, they are pretty much impossible to purchase in my country. Any other recommendation? I live in North America.

Maybe someone else knows anything else but the ESS Solo-1 is quite common so should be available I guess (or set an alert on Ebay). There are some variants so don't only search for the one I have (ES1938S ).

You're lucky with your T5710 - I had 3 of them ex-work. When I eventually got to try them out, all 3 were dead and had to be binned.

I grabbed mine from Ebay for $60

A lot of tinkering w/ drivers, formatting etc to get it working properly but seems to be working fine now. It's still not perfect. Some games have issues with keyboard sticking and running in one direction (Games like Doom)
Not sure why though, i;m on p/s2 kb and mouse via ps/2 splitter.

I will say the t5710 is a nice entry system w/ flaws, but it does make me want to dive deeper into the hobby and build a socket 7 system w/ proper components.
