You can't just uninstall/resintall a soundcard, it's not a program, you can take it out of your card slot and put it back in if you'd like, but there are multiple reasons the computer sound system functions. Now, you're telling me you've RECORDED on this soundcard before and it's worked fine?

If there's any sudden changes, that means either
A. Your soundcard is dying down
B. You did edit your audio settings


Now if you wanna tell if there is actually a difference without recording, my suggestion is play an already recorded song on both computers at the same time and compare. If there is a difference in quality, you need to fix either A. or B. of above.

And is there a reason you're recording on your lap top now? Is it more convenient?

If that's the case you might wanna try taking the soundcard outta your main comp and switching it with the laptop's, that will be an easy way to find out if it's the SOUNDCARDS that are fucked up.
