Yet more issues present themselves... Totally overlooked this at the time of buying this motherboard - https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/abit-ab-be6-ii#chips - but it turns out it has no onboard audio capability. >_< Very peculiar considering the micro version does. This is a full ATX board. This is a bit of a problem considering before, I was daisy-chaining my onboard audio with my ISA sound card for games that use redbook audio. My question now is - can I daisy-chain a PCI sound card with the ISA card for the benefit of redbook audio games? And if so, what are people's recommendations?
As a seperate issue, I don't appear to be getting audio at all from my speakers since getting this mobo up and running. As far as I'm aware, everything was plugged and set up from when I last used it. The ISA bank must be working fine because the PC recognises the sound card. I've tried plugging the audio jack into each of the sound card's outputs, but nothing. Volume dials are turned up, plugs are plugged in... Not sure if there's something silly I'm overlooking, or I've done, or if there's another underlying issue.
Thanks
