Vista - Problem with sound

Hi, I have Vista 64 bits with ASUS P5K motherboard with Realtek HD Audio. I
have a problem with sound, the sound has a strange noise and crashes. In
addition, when I use stereo configuration, for the left speaker it sounds ok
but for the right it's a lot lower and with more noise.

I have checked the speakers and the cables and are ok so I don't know if
it's a windows/driver problem or a hardware problem. Can anybody help me?
Some ideas??

Thank you very much.

Boot into Safe Mode - go to Device Manager and DELETE/REMOVE everything
under SOUND - reboot as normal and select search for new drivers.

This will ensure your drivers are installed correctly even if they are the
same ones.
