test the card(s) on another pc, one of them can be bad.
Temporarily .. remove the sound casrd and use the onboard audio... still got that woofer problem?  If not, then we shall suspect the card...and perhaps IRQ problem.

i did removed the pci card and check with onboard card
i did disable the onboard card and use pci card, same problem

before buyin a new one i want to be sure of wat the problem is
