Hi it2007,
I'd recommend purchasing a new soundcard. Set aside that the card is probably outdated (being 4 years of age), you can at least be certain that a new soundcard will be more consistant and will generally sound better.

I assume you are using Windows XP. If so, then try this driver :

I've been experiencing a large number of users having problems with good working sound cards and video cards going bad after Windows updates have been installed. Seems that the drivers are being rendered incompatible with some of the newest updates. Some require a repair from the Win CD and others return to working order after reloading the drivers and others needed the cards software be uninstalled and then reinstalled. Good luck
