Sounds more like an issue with your audio device. If you're using the audio device built in to the motherboard, this would make sense. They tend to be pretty bad, unless liberated by the digital connection. Personally, my motherboard outputs audio at an extremely low volume, and I have to pass it through a makeshift amp (because I don't have a real one at home), and the audio that comes out is also pretty dirty, and occasionally lets out a great crackle that would kill most professional hardware that isn't properly protected, and the ears of people using said professional hardware. To the point that it's wrecking my non-professional, properly-protected hardware rather quickly. So, I wouldn't be surprised if this is a motherboard sound issue.
in a perfect world we would all be piles of sand with no ability to form coherent bodies of body
