Since day one, I've had several complaints about my A7V333. Every time I
change a screen resolution during sound playback, it makes a funny skipping
or buzzing noise. Also, when I have the volume up past a quarter, when the
XP startup screen is showing (with the bar going across) my sound will make
a terrible screetch noise. (I'm very certain that it isn't my 5.1 sound
card as it has these problems with the onboard sound too)Also, my PS/2 ports
(both of them) will quit responding especially after restart randomly. (the
HD led will be fully lit, then it will stop and not even flicker)
Reformatting doesn't help. Replaced the memory and it didn't fix the
problem.

Full system specs???

When you added the Sound Blaster 5.1 sound card did you dissable the onboard
sound in the bios?...If not then try doing it...there could be a conflict.

I've been lurking here and I am not a tech. Was wondering if you cleared
CMOS on your board after you installed the new cpu? If your problems started
right after the new cpu then this could be what you need to do. If you have
always had this problem then it probably will not fix it....FWIW

I replaced the CPU because of this problem because you see, the 1800+ I
chipped. It still worked, but because of this problem, I thought that it
might be related to the CPU even though CPU's usually quit working
completely when they go. Nice try.

have you looked to see if there is an IRQ conflict with the sound device
also have you tried latest drivers for sound device/system board and via 4
in 1 driver package.

I have seen in the program 'cpu idle' that there is an option that appears
with via chipsets to "Fix Audio" - says "This setting can on some systems
fix the audio issues experienced with via chipsets - use with caution" - not
sure what these issues are though
