1. What happens if you hook back up the old sound system with the audio cable

And switch from HDMI for sound back to your built-in sound chip as you ran it before? If it works fine, you can just leave the cable hooked up and switch sound sources in Windows when listening to the radio, not super convenient but not THAT bad.

Also you didn't double the memory by getting a gfx card with 4GB of VRAM. Video card ram is for video card 'stuff' only. Basically VRAM comes into play when gaming or doing 3d design work (and transcoding, if you use the GPU to do it) ... and that's about it.

IOW, you're still running Windows on 4GB, which pretty dang low for Windows 7. Does this problem still happen when the ONLY thing you're running in Windows is the radio streaming app?
