Thanks to all and specially to The Marshal for his precious help.
Indeed the sound popping issue comes from the software Sandra. Zapped
it up!
I got another issue with that mobo: All of the Nero Tools made the
system to reboot while launching. Do you know something to avoid that?
Maybe another software conflit? I've seen so far that every software
trying to access to the hardware layer (bios) of this mobo causes a
problem somehow... Can't flash BIOS with Gigabyte's Windows utility
either.
The last weird thing that happened was when I tried the Intel® Chipset
Identification Utility and it just says "can't figure out chipset
type" or whatever... Plus, even IAA 2.3 does'nt install saying the
chipset is not compatible?! Maybe that is the price we have to pay for
having a great mobo with lots of connectors?
Other than that I must say that this is a great mobo and it does its
job just fine!
....
Weird science....
Thanks all for attention and help!
