    Problems with new sound card


    Hi there,

    i've a problem with my new sound card: everytime i stream a movie on the internet i hear a strange noise. when i watch a video which is saved on my own computer it doesn't appear. Some guy in another forum told me that it's because my Wi-Fi USB flash drive (USB controller) uses the same IRQ than the PCI slot of my sound card. But now i put the card in another slot and it's still happening, even though there are now no more other devices on this new IRQ.

    Does anyone have a clue, what the problem is?

    Sound card: Speed-Link SL-8871-SRD-A, 7.1 PCI Audio Card
    OS: Windows 7
    Driver: newest Win 7 driver
    example of the failure (was recorded with an external mic): http://schrepfer.bplaced.net/test.wav

    best wishes

    Welcome to the forum schrepfer, we're not ignoring you, just you have a puzzler. I myself googled extensively and no help. I'll put this question to the Gurus, see if we can get you some help. A Guy

    Something is running high in the backgroung, such an AV...check your System Manager and see all the process.

    The problem didn't exist before the new card, right?

    I suggest returning the card and getting a replacement.

    +1 This sounds like a bad sound card (pun intended)

    You might want to plug the older card and see if it's still happenning, to be sure before returning the new card if it's defective.
