Garageband sounds like crap, am I doing something wrong?

[crazlunatic]

Hi. I got ideneb 1.4 on but my when I hook up my guitar to garageband, the sound quality of the guitar sounds "sounds" a lot worse than when I tried it on a macbook.

 

My motherboard is Gigabyte P35 DS3R and the sound card is integrated. Model is Realtek ALC889A

I don't think it can be that worse than the Unibody Macbook's since those are using an Intel integrated too.

 

So my question is whether this is a hardware or software problem and how I can get better crisper sounds on Garageband? Thanks.
