I'm not getting it too much when playing (or at least I don't notice it much), but it's very pronounced when recording 16-bit. At 8-bit I don't get it either, but 8-bit sounds awful! I could mostly make it go away by disabling DMA on my DMA33 drives, but that slowed the computer down quite noticeablly. I had gotten rid of the problem when I purchased a promise card controller. Unfortunately, it just came back as soon as I purchased a UDMA-66 drive. Note: I've installed the latest of everything and it's doing it under Win98SE, WinME and Win2000. AMD K6-III 450 @ 100 MHz Tyan Trinity AT (Via MVP3 based) Maxtor DiamondMax 30 HD (UDMA66)---| WD 13.1 (DMA33)--------------------- connected to DMA66 promise card Memorex 48X CD-ROM Primary---------| Yamaha 4x4x16 Secondary-------------connected to motherboard I finally went out and bought a Monster MX400. It's a much inferior card (or at least the software running it is) and it doesn't do 4-speakers under Win2000. I'd appreciate any fix, 'cause I don't really like the MX400, but I need to be able to record! >I'm experiencing a cracking/popping noise while playing any audio format, >both using WaveOut and DirectSound, with my SB Live! Value.
