Audio problem!

Well, I just got over a one month and 5 day horror of not having my computer, really wouldn't wanna go into but anyway... I just got my computer back today. It's been reformatted, and every component has been swapped out. The problem is my AUDIO.

I'm not using a sound card, I'm using the integrated sound the the mobo came with, it's an ASUS A8V deluxe, and it uses Realtek AC '97 drivers and for some reason I hear a buzzing/staticy noise, and whenever I scroll up and down a website, I hear it get louder, as well as when I click, move anything pretty much.

Anyone know what the problem may be? It's bugging me a lot and I wanna know if it's fixable before I go buying a new sound card.

System Specs

sounds like your chip is picking up EMI from inside the case. Make sure the board and the case is grounded correctly
also try muting and inputs that are active…

#1 I had this kind a problem once and it was, in this case, a wrong type of spdif
cable between CD/RW and sound card (cable had 4 wires but need to have only
3 of them = some kind of grounding issue).

#2 If you are using USB mouse, and strange noise appears when moving mouse
cross the screen (graphics) or when scrolling, then it may be caused by too high
sampling rate set to mouse.

This can also be a IRQ sharing issue too. Have you checked it already.

Well, I tried all I could, but got nothing Though I did end up getting a brand new Audigy 2 ZS, and since I installed that, sound is nice and clean, not 1 bit of static

if new card fixed it, soulds like USB and on-board sound were trying to share the same IRQ...

Im experiencing the exact same problem Makita experienced with basically the same setup, except I just modded the drivers to Audigy 4. Is there any way of checking/correcting my current IRQ assignment setup? Am I going to have to reinstall the A4 drivers if I plug the card into a different slot?

also, I experimented and I found that
a) disabling eax effects makes it a tad better
b) It seems like a DMA/cpu usage/ram usage problem or something because if I try and run prime95 at normal priority along with winamp playing it LITERALLY CHOKES on clicks and noises and such
