Well, my brother has a external soundcard I forgot the name, it was kinda cheap, its one you can plug jacks into like, guitar cords, mics and all that stuff, its a 2 slot one, but anyways lately his sound is really weird, it like.. is all skippy and stuff, like itunes is fine, but when using higher programs, like adobe audition, all the music is all like skippy and staticy sounding like the computer jack isnt pluged in right, but it is.. what could it be, hes got 1gb of ram, a 3200+ amd 64 bit proccesser and the computer is pretty new. he got it less then a year ago. what could be wrong? sorry i didnt explain in detail, and i dont know any other computer specs. according to this guy its home built, but its a straight up compaq computre enless he just used a compaq case haha

edit: oh yea, its a Maudio one.
