ANOTHER DS3 problem...

Is this motherboard known to have EMI problems? I'm having massive feedback problems with my mic, and I've tried both a decent £30 mic and my webcam's built-in one (both of which worked spiffingly in my old rig), and everything I record sounds awful!

(This is on the on-board audio - I had to remove my Montego sound card when I found out the driver was causing my system to BSOD under specific circumstances.)

I DID have a Turtle Beach Montego, but I had to temporarily remove it cause it makes Guild Wars BSOD (well, the C-Media driver, not the card itself)!

I've emailed Turtle Beach and ANet, hoping for a fix, I'm just making do with on-board sound until I get one. But the awful feedback on recorded sound shouldn't affect the webcam's built-in mic, cause that doesn't go through the on-board sound!

Any word on this? Does ANYONE get lots of feedback with their microphones when using this mobo?

If you are getting feedback, lower the output volume of the mic, or mute it completely...

Sorry, I wasn't specific, the feedback is in the recording, not in my speakers! As in, playing back the recording sounds terrible due to background noise and crackling (whether I'm talking to someone online or recording something using sound recorder and playing it back myself). And before anyone asks, I did also try with my speakers disconnected and headphones on. Also with the mic further away from the PC in case it was the noise of the fans.
Output is fine too, not quite as good as the Montego was but decent. And the reason I'm asking about THE MOTHERBOARD rather than its on-board sound chipset is because I have EXACTLY the same problems when recording via my webcam's built-in mic as with a good quality mic plugged into the on-board sound - and the webcam's a separate device, it goes in via usb and bypasses the sound card except when I'm playing it back!
