    So i purchased the optional soundcard with my m1330 (because I listen to music almost constantly but mainly i wanted a better location for the output). When i first installed it, it worked fine. However, now when i turn on my laptop and plug my speakers into the jack, it plays the sound through the laptop speakers and the speakers connected through the sound card just make funny noises and don't play any music.

    The blue light on the soundcard comes on so it should recongize that its there.

    Any ideas on what i need to do to get this thing working.
    Thanks.
