Blame your dealer ?.
Everything shipped as part of a complete system should be tested as working before shipping.
The one component not yet supported is the onboard ethernet .
A Working PCI card should be supplied with each motherboard until it is .

You would think that, but I am not the only one it seems with this same hardware installed new in an X5000 having issues. I just received my used ($8 shipped, cant beat that) SV Live! card. I've had it playing streaming internet radio on Tunein for about 3 songs for maybe 10 minutes so far as I am posting this. We will see how it works out. I can say that it sounds a million times better through my Bose computer speaker system so far though.

Fingers crossed it doesnt cut out like my SIIG ATF3614X has been doing.

Yup, my machine came with a SIIG PCI as well (guessing you got it from AOTL). I ordered a 220, but ended up with a 4758 I think - pretty much the same model just with some extras on it. It's working fine.

@Cyborg

There was also a work around for the EMU10kx driver and freezes when using Ethernet .

However, at the moment, I can't explain why it actually works. Maybe there are workarounds in the driver as well, but I currently lack the time to check the code. Sorry.

That appears to be the same driver that is included with OS4.1FE. The version and file size are the same. The 'cmp' command in the SDK indicates that they are identical.

Referring to comment in history 6.2.
Which indicates thta earlier hardware also experienced freezes with Sound and Ethernet at the same time

History:
--------

6.7: - Merged with original 68k source and made compatible with new memory
system.

6.2: - This version should hopefully fix the freezes that
people experienced when playing sound together with
using ethernet (eth3com).

I've had my system streaming since I installed the card on friday non stop now. No issues at all. I think it is safe to say I have solved my lockup issues. Its the longest my X5000 has played audion been online since getting it.

I also noticed that the CMI8738 driver (v5.17) is the same one included with all OS4 hardware except the X5000. The v5.17 driver worked properly with CMI8738 based sound cards on my X1000 which makes me wonder if the current problems are caused by the newer driver or the X5000 hardware.

@Cyborg

In the event that someone gets the time to look into the CMI8738 driver
here is some Info about my working CMI8738 pci card. As it is pci there is no ASM1083 involved.
So there may be multiple issues with the CMI8738 cards.
My card is listed as a 4 Channel card.
There is no Center/Subwoofer jack.This may were the issue with the pci cards is .
The newer CMI8738 pci models are listed as 5.1chanel and have the Center/Subwoofer jack.
