How about adding soundcard/onboard audio in the User CP and maybe a push towards filling out your system details?

True. But on an aside, I do think, with some reservations, that there is overemphasis on this on this site. I have not encountered, on any others I visit, such a pertinent request for details as here. Wild guess, 1.more than 80% of the questions are such, that the details are not needed. 2. Appropos the above, many of the requesters are single, or at best, triple posters who get their answer and are never seen again. They would not feel a need to go to those lengths to get a reply. 3. This is a one off! many people these days are using more than one computer. In some circumstances, if a request for help were made, the request could be wrongly answered if they did not specify they were using another computer.I do agree with you Loathe on the getting people to fill out their system details but when you think about it, it just wouldn't work.. If a person has to fill out a/or page(s) of information just to join a forum, the majority of people aren't going to bother (it's stupid I know but it's the way alot of people look at it), they'd just move onto the next forum..Which of course isn't a desired outcome.. This was discussed at least once before as well..
hey Mike...thanks for the forum first of all. Second; I too am guilty of not posting specs because I've thrown seven onto several PC's. If you do request specs might I suggest it be for the primary use pc. I also think a security forum or category would be helfful because as I said before, this is a category where clearly everybody brings something to the table!There is something like a 90% bounce rate on this site. Most people don't even bother to register. Getting anyone to fill out specs seems unlikely, but I will look into adding this in bold somewhere for the people that do want to be part of this community.
I would also say that there is an announcement on the top of almost every forum asking people to include their system specs! Hopefully this will improve the situation.

I have to say I was glad to put my computer specs here. It can only help in case I come up with a hardware issue.There is something like a 90% bounce rate on this site.
