This crackling seems to be a thing with the four point speaker system from
Creative, many of SBlive users on there news group have had this problem,
the solution was a number of things people tried to reduce static and
popping, e.g., sound card placement in a different PCI slot, different
speakers used, updated drivers to the sound card etc. etc...need to check
out creatives news group to find out the cause and cure.
