Crappy sound with Vista!!! With both integrated and X-fi!?!

[gg_Malkavian]

Hi peeps!

Since I upgraded to vista, after some time (4-5 min) I start getting tic-tic sounds (interference) and it worsen as I keep playing (it happens in games such as GRAW and Titan Quest ; this does not occur in Command and Conquer 3 demo or while listening to movies or mp3s). My frames per second also becomes crappy when those tic-tic sounds appear and it also worsen as the sounds gets crappier.

I have a X-Fi Extreme Music so I first thought it was the beta driver I had. I downloaded the more recent one (15th march I think) but the problem was still there. I even tried to switch to my integrated onboard sound (a realtek chipset), the same problem is still there (even with the lastest vista drivers for it).

I really have no idea what is going on . Can anyone help me regarding this?


Here's my rig :
P4 prescott 3.4GHz @ 4GHz
eVga 7800GT
2x1Gb G.Skill PC3200
Chaintech V915P
X-Fi Extreme Music
Zalman 5.1 surround headphones
SATA WD 200Gb hd

BTW: Sry for my poor english ; it's my second language.
