So i'm about at wits end with this issue i've been having with my Creative Sound Blaster ZxR. I've already replaced my sound card 3 times with the same model and all of them apparently have the problem. The problem is that roughly every minute there will be a very noticeable distortion of the audio that is playing. It doesn't matter what the audio is. In the first unit I tested, this was prevalent in both the headphone and stereo mode, but in the second and third it only distorts the sound while in headphone mode. I have swapped headphones and the problem persists, so it must be the sound card unit. I have updated, installed, and re-installed the drivers as well as trying swapping the slot for the card. This is driving me nuts and I really don't know what to do at this point. Should I ask for a refund and choose another card or what? (note it's been 2 months approx since the original purchase. It took a long time to get 3 replacements to test in)
Thanks in advance, and all input is appreciated.
