Annoying sound problem with MSI X48C Platinum....

[OJay]

Hello everyone. I have been having a very annoying sound problem with my MoBo. My Fatal1ty gaming headsets would play fine sound then the system would give me a message (the sound drivers) that my headsets have been unplugged then replugged. The message would be constantly popping up adn the moment I close it it reappears. I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them... no go. Then I uninstalled them and started using windows default drivers and same problem. Now whenever I'm in an application and this happens, the sound completely cuts off and I have to restart whatever I'm doing to get the sound back, and then the same would happen, again. I used different headsets but the problem remains the same. So I'm thinking the only possible place of error now is my motherboard sound drivers/system. This is my rig:

C2D E8400
2GB Kingmax DDR2 800 RAM
ATI HD4780 Sapphire 512MB
MSI X48C Platinum
Gigabyte ODIN 800W PSU

It sounds like a grounding issue.

Are you connecting your headphones directly to the motherboard?

I can either connect my headphones to the front panel, or to the rear of my computer (which is directly to the motherboard if I'm not mistaken). Both configurations cause the same issue. I flashed my motherboard to the latest 7.4 BIOS in hope for a fix, but the problem still persists.

Boot with a live Linux cd to make sure this isn't a software problem.
