Problem with audio. Please help.

Specs.
Asrock p55 extreme.
Windows 7 64 bit.

So right now I'm having huge problems with my audio. Crackling and sometimes slight stutter. This is driving me insane. I'm pretty sure that the audio drivers that I have right now for windows 7 totally suck and that the audio drivers that windows 7 finds automatically for my audio totally suck which is why I'm having these major problems. So I try to use the latest drivers on my motherboard dvd and the realtek site. I make sure that windows 7 CANNOT automatically search for drivers/update them and then I uninstall the driver that windows 7 originally finds. Then I install the latest realtek driver or driver on my motherboard dvd but when I start up windows the sound still has a red x over it and I go into device manager and it says Audio Device on high definition audio bus with an X over it and says there aren't any drivers for it. If i let windows 7 update it and find it, it takes me back to the previous drivers which had audio crackling/stuttering. I know that this is a windows 7 problem because I've tried windows xp 64 bit sp3 and I've also tried a linux mint boot cd and the audio is perfectly fine on those. How can i get my audio drivers to be signed by realtek instead of microsoft? Thanks.

What speakers are you using? in-monitor or some regular old PC speakers from the audio-out jack?

It looks like after uninstalling your win7 audio drivers you aren't getting the right audio drivers installed from your mobo CD or realtek site. At least that's what it seems to be since windows isn't even recognizing the drivers you are trying to install.
