GA-7VAXP Sound

[GR22]

Hey all:
I've included my sytem specs in my profile. Ever since I put this system together, I've been experienced sound issues. I'm using the built in sound chip on the board. I hear static when playing music and also when gaming. It's not very loud, but it's definately annoying. Any ideas? Oh and also, nothing's overclocked.
Thanks

Are you using powered speakers?

Try reducing the on-speaker volume to minimum then increase the volume within windows to max. Then use the on-speaker knob to regulate the volume as desired. Also, ensure the speaker wires do not cross over other electrical devices. Also get the latest audio drivers. I believe your mobo has integrated ACL650 AC'97 audio codec. download the latest drivers form the realtek site: Here
