If you want the sound coming through the modem speaker and not the sound card, you could just open up your computer and pull out the Audio wire going from the modem to the sound card (if it is a PCI...
I had a look at the Diamond web site and read the specs for the MX400. It sounds like a fairly good card - A3D 1.0 support, EAX 1.0/2.0 support. The only problem I saw was the lack of A3D 2.0 support...
The SB 1024 didn't work with my Athlon system, but that is thanks to my lousy MS-6167 motherboard and Creative's laziness when it comes to solving problems.

Turns out I already have the latest version of Live!Ware (it came on the CD). Anyway, I reformatted the hard disk and it is a bit more stable now - need more testing and a reply from Creative before...
OK, so everything was working fine with my old ISA soundcard. Then I bought a SB Live player 1024 and installed it - OK, for about five mins! In games, they quit at random intevals back into windows...
