sound card stutter

[2fast4all]

I've been running this ECS GF7100PVT-M3 for a month or two now and I have problems with the sound card, It always stutter in most of my games and has no EAX so I put back in my SB Live 5.1 card and it seem to be fine for some games but still stutters. I cant find the problem.

games that stutter at the moment:
UT3
gta-vice city

games that are fine:
nfs-carbon and pro street
cod4
rfactor
cs:s
audiocity
UT2004
GTR2

What video card do you use???
Do it have updated drivers???

Steam/Valve (HL2) has always been notorious for sound looping problems; most of the time it has to do with video card drivers.

Update your sound and video, check to make sure your chipset drivers are also up to date.
