PLEASE HELP Sound/audio Distorition

Hello,

I purchased a Turtle Beach Riveria sound card from my local computer store and I am having problems playing video games. The problem is the sound that it is very distorted, I tried many things to remedy the problem from downloading the newest drivers to removing the card and placing in diffrent slot.

Here is what I have noticed while the game is in play the sound is very distorted but I noticed that when I click the "x" tab to close the window (holding the button down and not leting go) the sound is perfect. I think it has something to do with the video b/c when I do this the background freezes, could there be some kind of conflict with the video card (eVGA Geforce 5500 256)? When I play a dvd on the computer it is fine and no distortion same goes when I play a song that does not have a moving background (windows media is distorted).

Here are my specs. for my computer...

AMD Athlon 64 3500+
Maxtor 200gb Hard Drive
Geil 2x512 Memory Dual Channel
ECS Motherboard K8T890-A (1.0A)
eVGA Geforce 5500 256mb video card
Turtle Beach Riveria 5.1 sound card
Logitech X-530 5.1 Surrand Sound Speakers
Microsoft XP Professional Operating System
There are 5 case fans cooling the computer case
Zalman CPU cooler with Aluminum and Copper fins

Please Help, any info, set-up, configuration, newer drivers, anything would be great. I bought two PC games (Half-Life 2 & Guild Wars) and I am not able to play these great games.

Thank you,

have you looked through the options in the sound menu in the games? maybe you've selected something your card doesn't support
 
yes, I tried diffrent config. on both games and on the properties of the sound card and video card. any other ideas?
 
you could try uninstalling both your sound and video drivers, then reinstalling sound first then video, have heard of that working before but no promises
