If you got analog noise on the signal, then most of the time it's poorly decoupled 5V power on the PCI slot. Try another slot, try a better power supply unit. Sometimes it's the mainboard's design where the corners have been cut though.

You are supposed to use the drivers from the card maker - and we determined it to be an OEM job of a LifeView design, didn't we?
