Have you tried rebooting?  For a while I had a problem with my AVC-2410
(which is a very similar card) where it would start glitching like that
after a few weeks of continuous uptime.  The glitches would gradually get
worse and worse until I rebooted the system; then it would be fine for
another few weeks.

The problem eventually resolved itself, but I'd changed so many things
over a period of a month or so that I never did nail down whether it was a
driver problem or something else.
