Yep. Now I’ve lost the sound card too. Needless to say I think this Pioneer amp is too fast and too furious. So I’m gonna be removing it from my lineup. Now all I have to do, is convince Logitech to send me another set of speakers, which I know I’ll get right this time.

There’s only one problem: I’m now stuck with the crappy AC ‘97 audio built into my motherboard and I lack a MIDI port, something that I use extensively. So I’m gonna be looking around for a half-decent sound card and probably a job to pay for it (and possibly *more* new speakers). Looks like fate has finally caught up with me.
