What's up with my SoundMax?

A few months ago, my computer bluescreened and after rebooting the system, it seems that my integrated sound is broken.
I have a SoundMax HD Audio integrated sound on an Asus P5B motherboard. The sound crackles and pops to the extent where it is nigh unlistenable. I have tried reinstalling the drivers and software from the disc, and this did not fix the issue. Does this mean the hardware itself is fried? Will I need to buy a sound card?
The sound console is not accessible. It has a "no" sign over it and says that the control panel is not available at this time.

I guess try disabling it in the BIOS and it may stop, but if it's a physical problem (a short of some kind in the chip itself, fuck I don't know, I'm no electrical engineer) you might be screwed unless you replace the board.
Before THAT I'd try the newest drivers.
