Thanks a lot DarthAcer, the new driver improved a lot the input. Still sounds a little "muffled", but 100% better than before!! Maybe I'll go for the USB soundcard, it's a nice idea indeed.

Did anyone manage to make the microphone (either the built-in or one connected in the mic front input) sound decent? I get very low sound on both...almost unusable. I tried the "boost" option but didn't help much...am I missing...

I don't know about the 4005 but I couldn't put any Linux distro to work on my TM8104... The system seems to be "too advanced" for Linux right now (PCI Express and this kind of stuff), but I suppose that will be taken care of...
