I can't remember exactly which audio controller I have on my board, but I
found that the socket used for audio output changes, depending on which
mode the controller is in.  I currently have to switch the speaker cable
when I switch between windows XP and FreeBSD (hopefull I'll be able to
resolve this when I get a chance to look into it).

Have you tried all the audio sockets on teh back??
