Is it the card or something else? I have a RealTek HD Audio Output. Yes I know it's intergrated sound crap but my old computer (from 2003) had better sound than this.
Just get a new one then. If you have a little bit of cash left get this.

can you take the sound card out of your old PC?
Look for updated drivers. See if your software has a sound diagnostic that you could run.
Hope you get it fixed.

DUDE! Thank you! It's fixed now! +1 man.terrafirma wrote:

Integrated sound impacts the rest of the system's performance, in every case I've seen it. Best go out & get a low-end X-Fi.
Already recommended him something that's pretty much the same, an Audigy 2 ZS, the 75$ one. It's fixed anyway though.antin0de wrote:

You should still get something better if you can help it. The crappy integrated sound gets old after a while, I still have mine.Fuzzball_the_Shooter wrote:

My advice on soundcards is get a seperate one. Onboard sound cards steal clock cycles (CPU) and some also steal RAM.
Yeah, I'm gonna get one along with another 1 Gig once I got the cash.
So the key is to buy a CPU so fast it laughs at the pitiful power a "built in" sound card and eat... I'd rather put the extra $80 to $100 for a better sound card into buying a better CPU... but then the slowest opterons OC just as far as the most expensive ones.BigglesPiP wrote:

Even a $20 Sound card, or a modem with a soundcard is better. Just takes the load off the CPU.slo5oh wrote:

Why the hell does a modem have/need a soundcard in the first place?BigglesPiP wrote:

I dont actually use it as a 56K modem (I have broadband). But it has a basic soundcard on it???
That sound card is high quality for a good price. +1 for you!_j5689_ wrote:

lol, do you use the soundcard portion?BigglesPiP wrote:

If something doesn't work right off the bat, your best bet is drivers.
lol, I found a whole bunch of modems that have sound cards in them: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLi … mp;Ntk=all
I might buy one just to get rid of this POS integrated sound. From what i've heard, any sound card you can buy is better than integrated.
