Why would you move a motherboard in the audio device category and why Aopen?

This is an ASrock (made by Asus) motherboard and it's clearly indicated as well.

Nothing to do with Aopen. the only thing is the audio for this board as issues with Linux and it's C-Media, not Aopen.

That's all. It should go under the category "motherboard"

Far from me to tell you what to do, but if people look for a motherboard they won't look in the audio section of the HCL. That's for sure.


Otherwise this board works very well on Suse 10.1. I disabled the integrated audio because it's weird c-media chipset gives some problems in games. I use a 16 bit stand alone card instead.

Great board because it let's keep your legacy AGP card and let's you upgrade to PCI-E later. S939 or AM2 comaptible via adapter. Way more feature than expected for this price range.

To bad it's been discontinued.
