I installed Windows XP Pro and was ahving a few problems with my video card and my sound card.

I have fixed the video card, but am still having problems with sound. I can play games and the sound works great. When ever Windows tries to make a sound the speakers just start buzzing and stay that way until I reboot. It will also do it if I alt-tab out of a game. I have tried eveyrhting I can think of to get rid of this problem, but I can't. I have reinstalled XP twice, but the problem is still there.

I just have a cheap Pine sound card with a Crystal Chipset. Would buying a new sound card fix the problem? If so, what is a good sound card? I don't want to spend more than $40-50.

Thansk,

Chris

BTW my system is:

Athlon 1.2GHz
Asus A7V-E
256MB RAM
Radeon 64MB DDR VIVO
Pine Crystal Chipset sound card.

I would suggest the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz, works great under XP or 2000. Look on the Hot Deals forum or the For Sale to see if you can find one in your price range.
