When does it end???

Some of you may recall my needing to setup my Intel 955 XBK into RAID10 so I had data redundancy. I got that working and then the second drive in the array kept dying. After eating 3 drives in 2 months I thought it's gotta be the mother board. Sure enough it was. I replaced it with (what I'm sure is the exact same board by warranty) and now my microphone that used to work beautifully has a bunch of static when I record tutorials with it. This is the last time I ever by a local PC. I'll only by major brand PC's with 4 hour guaranteed 24x7x365 support for X years. I've had more trouble with home-grown... So anyway. Anyone dealt with this one before? How do I get the static out? Nothing else has changed that I know of... Just a new motherboard that is the exact same board I had before... NOTE: you can hear my voice there's just background static that wasn't there before and the "Boost" option doesn't help checked or unchecked.

If this is an integrated sound card, you might have just gotten lucky with the first motherboard, or this might have been why this motherboard was refubished. The advice I've always gotten is if you are serious about recording get an external sound "card" or at least a PCI sound card.

I agree with Andy - the only integrated device I use on the MB is the built in network card. Anything else sucks up system resources. Who's the MB manufacturer?
