Just burned and booted the mythbuntu livecd. It detects everything but 
the results are exactly the same as gentoo, no sound even though 
everything looks fine.

I'm not sure if I should be thinking about RMAing this board. I guess I 
should try windows on it first but I don't have any discs handy :/

Grateful for any other ideas.

Thanks
