OK, let's take it outside when you sober up.
I hope you have those Audiosmile tweeters pointing at the ceiling as they recommended, hehe, best laugh I had in a while.

I noticed when shopping for the H5.s case that there is an option to buy riser cards for what seems reasonable money compared to other sites.
Now I wont need one unless SOTM usb cards hit the €45 mark or Pearse thinks his is contaminating his system but for people needing this option seems good value.

BTW, if pointing at the ceiling didn't tame down thoseAudiosmile tweeters, was their next suggestion to position them behind the sofa?

It looks different to the connections I think required for the sotm card but I see the point re price on that link. Is there something different i.e better in the zuma build card or is it just over priced?

Ding ding are you having a go at the tweeters as well!

Funny well not really as I hate to see Jplay get any hassle but I knew when neither of my laptops worked with us it had to be a widespread issue.
It would seem Josef believes it is laziness on the network card software side but I think when he gets working on it there will be a solution.
