P4C800-e Deluxe on board sound

Hi

I have various problems with the onboard sound. With the supplied drivers on
the motherboard cd 5.1.3630, I get the occasional popping when playing
MP3's. I then found new drivers 5.1.5150, these installed without any
problems and the sound quality seems to be better. These drivers however
have one problem, after a while when playing MP3's, my microphone also
becomes a speaker i.e. I can hear the song being played though my
microphone. I have to then reinstall the drivers to get it working
correctly. What could be causing this problem?

I have the mic plugged into the correct port, and I use the S/PDIF connector
for audio out. I had the same problem when I used the normal audio out plug
