You need to find out what sound chip set you have for that mobo, then reseearch from there. Good chance it does. If you try the Live CD, that might tell you. Welcome to Ubuntu.

the siite (Asus) says that my mobo has
" ADI AD1980 SoundMAX 6-channel CODEC
S/PDIF out interface "

i've tried researching about it, may be i need more....

i've already tried red hat 9...no luck
Mandrake 10.0...no luck

anyways...thanks for the tip....
i envy your rig! nice one! seems like you're an AMD fanatic, i'm also thinking of buying a 64-bit cpu!
i'm not satisfied with my p4 2.6C

Those other distros are getting fairly old now. Anything recent, SUSE 9.2 Live CD, the (K)ubuntu live CD, Knoppix etc... would give you a better chance of success. A look at linuxcd.org or others will let you know what is available live CD wise.
