Thank you very much for your prompt reply dear Tito my next question is , if we (me and a couple of friends) that noticed the same problems regarding those SoundMax (ADI) 'hiccups' which occur ? Is it due to a ... I don't know some bad configured setting from BIOS or ... ? It's really frustrating sometimes not just for me (I have looked over Bing & Google and also a lot of users are accusing such issues). Thank you all for your time in advance. zZz
