ok i decided to try a rip on linux mint in its live environment (i didnt want to destroy data on a HDD for this) and it still sounds like its gargling marbles.
so im going to assume this is a hardware issue and not an OS issue.

time to contact my motherboard vendor about this directly.
in case your curious heres the rip from linux: https://files.catbox.moe/jr4s7b.wav
