RE: glitchy audio
right-click on My Computer, select "properties" Select hardware tab. Click "Device Manager" button. You'll see a tree-type view with all your hardware. Open up "IDE/ATAPI disk controllers" and double click on "Primary IDE" (and also "Secondary IDE" in turn.
There should be a dropdown under "Advanced Settings" that should be set to "DMA" or "DMA if possible".
If you find the dropdowns and they're not set to DMA, set them.
If you don't find dropdowns, or there's no choice for DMA, visit your motherboard manufacturer's website and download updated drivers for your motherboard. These should enable DMA.
