MSI 6380E onboard audio problems

Well, there is no MSI 6389E motherboard listed.
There is a 6398E Socket 278 P4 and a 6380 Socket A.

Could you be more specific as to what problems you are having?
Please include what CPU, version of Windows, and how much RAM you have.

On-board sound is generally only useful for system and low intensity game sounds.
It often breaks up when playing CDs or other music files.

On-board sound uses system RAM, and CPU power as oppossed to an independant sound chip to generate the audio.
Thus, if a higher priority task needs the CPU, the sound gets left behind, and breaks up.

After several bad experiances, I refuse to purchase motherboards with built-in sound.
Even a $7 sound card has better sound than on-board sound.

probably referring to the MSI 6380 K3T Ultra with the 5.1 sound bracket.
