SoundMax and DVD - Asus board Conflict

I discovered the other day that when you install Soundmax for an Asus P5B motherboard that it creates a conflict with the DVD player. This all started when I wanted to be able to record the PC sound on my machine. In order to do this I needed to install the Sound Max sound card drivers as Vista does not provide you a means to record your PC sound. ( If anyone knows how to do this otherwise any help would be appreciated.) Well, as a result of installing SoundMax I found that the DVD player would no longer be recognized. I tried all kinds of scenarios in the BIOS setup to get it working, but to no avail. What was the solution I came up with? Reinstall Vista. Perhaps not the best solution but it got the DVD working again. Apparently I am not the only one that has experienced this issue. Amazingly enough the SoundMax drivers were downloaded from the Asus site. You would think that Asus would have recognized the issue and provided a solution or at least a warning .

Others experiencing this issue.
