Do you have a sample of the sound you are recording you upload to your profile for us to hear.

Using the built in sound card is not really going to give extremely high quality result's, but it can work. Either driver is going to be about equal. But stay away from the IDT driver as that is not the better driver.

Are you using any EQ or anything on the board? You should record without any EQ turned up on the board.
