Scott, I appreciate the offer. However, if I'm going to go through the trouble of digging out my 970 (it's buried in the back of my closet) & setting it up in my system, I'd rather wait until this 'final fix' is officially released. That way if other owners are still having issues I don't have to undo everything again.

As a side note, the no audio bug, while a major annoyance, was not the deciding factor for me putting the 970 away. It was the random high pitched distorting "beeping" sound that got me fearful for my speakers. I'm more concerened about that then the no audio issues.

When do you expect to release the firmware?
