I am going to take the receiver out of the loop tonight and see if that makes a difference. Beyond that, I may look into the GT 430 at some point. My fall back position would be to reinstall the 9400 GT card and worry about HD Audio another day.
I’ll check and see if there is a bios update for my mobo while I am at it. Thanks for your help and if / when it is resolved I’ll post what happened.
