    What power supply do you have? Make and power.

    I've seen some postings about distortion and it turned out to be a power supply problem.

    OK, that's a good power supply. Some people build systems and use cheap power supplies that can be noisy, poor DC voltage regulation, etc.

    The next step is a cheap USB connected sound card to see if the sound is OK or distorted. Will prove whether its hardware or not.

    My headphones are USB - but I'll find a external sound card.

    If you have USB headphones that will work. USB Headphones do not use the PC's sound card, they use digital from the PC and convert it to analog audio in the headphones.

    The headphones sound like shit also, unless I convert them to qaudraphonic.

    They never used to do this ever.

    When you did the reinstall, did you do a "clean" reinstall, which involves reformatting (wiping) the hard drive and then install, or did you just install over the existing?

    Doing a "clean" install and then testing before installing anything extra is a good test. If its still bad, with the clean install and nothing else installed it would lean towards a hardware issue.
