Asus A7N8X deluxe sound problem help....

[rcoplien]

Hello I have the A7N8X deluxe motherboard I recently purchased new with soundstorm Nforce 5.1 digital sound mobo vers 2.0. My sound was running fine until last week i reinstalled windows 98se because of a display adapter problem. The problem I am having now is the sound on my my computer crackles and skips when the computer starts up with the windows music, when I listen to audio from any website and when I watch mpeg short movie clips the sound is distorted and the movie moves at twice the speed as it should. I have even noticed a freezing of one of my online games when the game is started. I never had this problem before? It even seems to skip as well. Would you know what the problem is. I am really wanting to use the onboard sound and don't want to revert back to a sound card again.
Here are my current computer stats:

Windows 98SE
Athlon 2200 XP 1.8ghz 266fsb
Gigabyte ATI 9700 pro vid card 128mb ddr
Asus A7N8X Deluxe board with Sstorm 5.1 sound
512 mb DDR pc2100 ram
30 Gig Maxtor 7200 rpm HD
