I agree with LGW... I worked on the other thread as well. IMHO the only thing that will solve this is a new sound card. The issues described in the other thread sound to me like a definite hardware issue. I also linked to a couple of VERY inexpensive PCI cards to solve the issue... software /tweaks will never fix defective gear. The only other thing that MIGHT cause this type of problem is the
mobo itself-- but for the price of a cheap PCI card --it'd STILL be worth it to try.
