how do i tell what my motherboard is,also i tied this link with no success,i went to the website but i'm not sure what to look for?

AI have to ask are you inputing the audio to the Line input and not the mic input? Inputing the mic input could overdrive the audio and cause distortion or audio clipping.

I've got it set into the line in

Well then check in the creative control panel and make sure no post filtering or reverb is enabled then set the volume control down and see if that helps. That's all I can come up with short of you having DX components that are corupt.

How about the motherboard tip,is that worth looking into,i don't know how to see what motherboard i have.I have a brand new hp 3ghz computer.by the way thanx for taking the time to work with me on my problems,i'm getting vey frustrated

If you have a HP computer then my guess they made the motherboard. To check if the board has the VIA chipset you could look in system device manager under system (I think) for any VIA drivers installed.

I agree with Bob W if it's a HP then chances are it's a HP manufactured mobo....

I myself have a beef with HP so I won't go baggin but I will say this everythin for a HP is generic....the sound card the video card blah blah blah...so you can't exactly use the lastest nvida drivers which are mad but can stuff your cap setting (but if you know what your doing it won't effect it) you have to use HP drivers .....but my experience is with older HP's maybe they're better these days
but here is something in perspective

My friend spent $2500 Australian on a HP 2.0 Ghz 256 DDR ram 40gig HD it looks sexy those metalic keyboard blue slim lines etc ...but it crashes it's slow I have in the last year reintalled xp twice ...and he doesn't even doing thing with it except surf the net and use photoshop

My beast a celeron 1.2 ghz 640 mb ram leadtek 250ddr graphiocs card soundblaster etc cost me $900 australian and it is solid as a rock never crashed I keep this thing runnin day and night encoding uni work gaming etc the only prob I had was it's a VIA chipset but used the patch by george breeze and perfomance and stabilty is second to none

You can find out your mobo by going to control panel click on your motherboard and som info should be there...

You want the patch that suits that ...but he has (i think 2 different ones)
