Oh boy, I certainly hope you are right. I didn't think of interrupts,
but that certainly might be the problem. Turns out the card was sharing
interrupts with a whole bunch of stuff, including the SATA raid, nForce2
etc... I have moved it, physically and it is on a different interrupt
now (see below)
Initial testing seems to be clear of ALL sound glitches, and only some
very very minor video artifacts (which may be true reception problems).
If this works, I owe you big time... thank you
