Are these two sounds cards different plenty to affect nouns record?

I enjoy previously started to computer record band as an amateur hobby. I have switched from my aged computer to a more updated computer.



Previously Computer: HP Pavilion a220n

SoundCard - Integrated AC97 Audio

1.Decent, nice clear sounds

2.Decent volume levels

3.No latency.



Current Comp: Dell Inspirion 8400

Soundcard - ADI 1980 AC97 Codex

1. Really mucky nouns, almost as if the condenser mics are in another room

2. Low Volume

3. 525ms latency.



Same setup for both computers:

1.TonePort for input (USB device)

2.16 Channel Mixer Board

3.Ableton Live 5



My Questions: Are these two cards really that different to kind a recording difference? Or is my problem most credible elsewhere? If the sound card is my problem, can anyone suggest a wearing clothes sound card that would amend my sound CD quality?



I found on some some sites that state cards do generate a difference. Just cant see how old comp and tentative comp could make a difference since it appears the cards are alike.
