[dba-Tech] Sound card plays radio

Or perhaps another question...

Do you live near and AM/FM transmitting station... say within a mile?  If 
so, I would suspect that the card itself may have either poor design, or is 
in fact bad... due to a bad solder joint that acts more like a diode than a 
piece of wire....
