I just got my nf7-s v2. Where exactly can I find any indication of soundstorm 2 audio? I see the normal nforce2 audio settings in the taskbar. Thats it. In my device manager it just says nvidia mcp etc etc. Sounds and Audio in the control panel says nforce audio tm. :\

actually, the fact that you've got that control panel says you have soundstorm. Non-soundstorm boards dont have it.

Yup. What he said...

I was pondering disabling it and putting in my SB Live! value card because of all the OB sound issues it has, but something other finally swayed me into doing it...

I've been playing a lot of NASCAR 2002 lately, and I decided to dig out my old steering wheel....plugs into a game port. I was quite surprised the drivers for it work with XP Pro...the wheel dates from the days of Win95....

On a good note...no sound issues in UT2003 anymore... Although my framerates took a bit of a hit...

It looks like the same standard nforce2 sound panel as my 8rda+..

you mean this one:
http://www.epox.nl/english/products/motherboard/8rda+.htm
the one that has soundstorm??? lol

edit: actually it has the hardware (the mcp-t southbridge) but it isnt certified by nvidia. None-the-less, it still has soundstorm.

LOL...re-read my post... I put my PCI sound card in (SoundBlaster Live! value)...

No..the NF7 series doesn't have any gamport header anywhere.

The 8RDA+ has soundstorm, but it is not Soundstorm certified because Epox, in their infinite wisdom, decided not to include the SPDIF bracket. That is why it is not officially called soundstorm, so just add a SPDIF bracket and you will be set.
