What's your soundcard and motherboard chipset.

I have huge problems with Audigy SE + VIA K7V600 chipset combination (crackling sound, with newest drivers huge performance loss).

Hm, if it's integrated, than it shouldn't be the problem.

What have you done since you replaced the graphic card?

Did you try messing with the ingame sound settings (sound quality, software/hardware rendering, EAX off/on)?

nope, just gfx settings

Try to mess up with the sound settings to find out what's wrong.

BTW, what was your previous card? Did you change drivers?

you forgot to use drirvercleanerpro and turn your AV off when you removed/reinstalled the drivers didn't you? and did you delete your BF2 cache folder?

i don't know if it will work but try raising your pci latency in bios setup.
