need urgent help with crazy distortion

i have been looking around but nothing seems to make sense to me. I am tring to use my headphones from my on board sound card(tried both front and back) but no matter what I try the sound is always distorted and when i increasing volume in the mixure to 82 or above there is a lot of distortion without even anything playing. However if I connect the headphone using the hdmi output vai my display there is no problem at all. Please advice what should I do.

Ps: i have reinstalled windows as well as the latest drivers from the website many times n still no results.

What headphones, what sound chip? It may be that the head phones just dont match the impedance of the chip ouput.

i am talking about the onboard sound card. as far as the headphones go.. i am using razor pirahna so that too rules out..
