Choppy Sound

Recently I installed a new motherboard, an ASUS 7V266-E. Since then sound does not work properly. Apart from the new motherboard, AMD Athlon 1.4 G CPU and new DDR Ram all other components are unchanged. The sound card is a Sound Blaster Vibra.

Before the new motherboard all sound functions I used worked fine. Now the sound is choppy, this problem is present with all sound output modes whether it be playing an audio CD, Windows sounds or game sounds.

PS; the sound card has been checked on another PC and still works fine

I would love some help with this as it looks like I will have to go back to the old motherboard/CPU combination to get my sound back.

Thanks,🙁
 
A few things to check:

1)Make sure DMA mode is enabled for your HDD & CD drive
2)Get the latest chipset drivers fo the m/b
3)Check for any IRQ conflicts
4)Check BIOS setup - Try enabling and disabling "PCI Delay Transaction", Try adjusting PCI Latency Timer, "PnP OS", set "Reset data configuration" to enabled
5)Check for any BIOS updates
6)Move the soundcard to another PCI slot, one that isn't shared and as far away as possible from other cards like modems, graphics cards etc

There's a start for ya,

Cheers.
