Feedback on Rampage IV Formula Audio

I just switched from a Rampage II Extreme to a Rampage IV Formula. I have installed both the latest Realtek Drivers and Sound Blaster Xfi MB 2 utility off the support website.

The audio quality is...dramatically worse than the Rampage II's Supreme X-Fi. Also a huge factor for me is the Microphone in. I hop into Ventrilo and immediately my friends notice a background noise/reverb noise. I have to turn off Mic Boost but then my volume has suffered due to this.

I never had any of these issues with the previous Supreme X-Fi. Anyone else...? There is such huge marketing and hype on the "Lossless Audio". Now I feel like I need to go out and buy an additional sound card.

Am I doing something wrong here?

The background noise sounds like a grounding problem. Is it the same on the front & rear connectors?
