There seems to be some indication that it matters what other pci(e) cards
are installed. Some MB have only so many PCIe channels. For example, A MB
might have 4 PCIe channels and then have a 4 channel slot a 2 channel slot
and 1 or 2 1 channel slots. Normally, the video card goes in the widest
slot, but you may like to try putting in a narrower slot to see if that
frees up some bandwidth. This will slow down the video card some, but in
this case the audio is important. Just as a test try swapping the slots
where you video and audio cards are.
