It seems your previous board with built-in sound didn't perform well. The new boards you received recently are the latest models.
Same here, my previous graphics card didn't work that way. Once I installed the new system, whenever the heater's thermostat switches on or off, I just notice a faint, squeaky noise. I also have a UPS and a surge protector plug.
You may want to explore the PulseAudio troubleshooting page on Arch Wiki for guidance. Timer settings often cause issues, so checking that area could help. It covers problems like skips and audio distortion.
Check the directory /usr/share/pulseaudio for relevant files.
