thanx you are specs around here :cool: (i hope)and sorry for all that smileys .I preffer laughing than sadness with problems .hope you understund my poor english. end.
 
So the sound is coming from the card itself and not through your speakers/headphones?
 
Coloured stripes sounds like defective RAM. I suggest you RMA the card and get a replacement.
 
the sound isn't comming from speakers etc .its comming from the gpu.And no its not ram releated problem .That is common with this cards. There is also new bios for that but it gives nothing better. Maybe its something ,I dont Known ....is here anyone who have similar problem around here \????.
 
ok, this could be because of interference of other cards and your video card ( I have had it happen with a geforce back in the day) - I suggest you move the sound card a few pci slots down the motherboard - away from the video card...

The striping does sound like the video card's ram may have issues...
