Do you get a buzzing/crackling sound when there is no signal (i.e.
volume high but nothing playing), or are you referring to signal distortion?

The former suggests a poor connection or grounding problem, while the
latter suggests a software problem (BIOS PCI latency timer setting can
cause it, for example).

I updated the MB's Bios and the Realtek AC97 Drivers to no avail.
Anyone know what it could be?

Thanks
