Hmmm.. That is really weird. I've never heard of anything like that before. I might be able to give you a few ideas...
Find the system information program in the startup menu, under accesories->system tools (asumimg you are using windows) Check to see if their is a conflict between your sound card and something else. (irq conflicts) If so, and if not.. might want to try this anyways.. It won't hurt. Move your soundcard to a different pci slot in your computer. And also make sure it's plugged in tight.
Since you had a computer guy over I'm guessing he would have been smart enough to check that though..
So it happens with mp3, movie files (avi, quicktime, real media), games and everything? Then I guess it can't be singled down to an audio codec then..
I don't know, this might be going way out but maybe give your computer a complete overhaul with drivers.
Starting with your soundcard drivers.. update them from the website. Then I would see if their are any new chipset inf drivers. (updating that fixed a problem I had with my video card at one time) If you have an intel chipset goto the intel website, find the chipset identification utility, then download the inf drivers for your chipset.
I'm almost thinking it could be your motherboard.. but that's just a hunch.
Well, here's something that can't hurt. Get a can of airduster and clean the case out. Maybe a build-up of dust is bridging a circuit somewhere?
I really don't know.
Let me know if you find a solution for it. I'm a bit curious myself.
Good luck.
