Problem with my sound card

[Humanoid]

Hi,

Recently, I've upgraded my motherboard and I was having a problem with the onboard sound. I've tried what I can in order to fix it but to no avail. Yesterday, I bought a cheap Creative Vibra 128 4D to replace it. I've disabled the Onboard sound in the bios, and reinstalled my windows as well. After succesfully installed my new Audio card and tested it (play mp3), i've found out that there's cracking sound/audio skip/weird sound coming out from my speaker whenever my processor is processing something or busy. Can anyone help me to solve this problem please? thank you very much.

my spec:
Athlon xp 2000+
Gigabyte GA-7VR
128mb Pc 2100 kingston ddr
60 gb maxtor hd
Creative vibra 128 4D
Windows Xp pro

Well I've never heard of the Sound Card you bought Creative Vibta 128 4D. I can assume its a PCI card, and maybe that it is quite outdated. I really do not like Creative sound cards. I had a Sound Blaster Live and it has given a bunch of trouble with crackling and hissing. Also Creative sound cards also have PCI issues that I blame solely on Creative. I would return it if I were you.

Get yourself a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz. I love that card. My friend bought it and he has the CHEAPEST speakers ever. It gets power from the USB port. LOL its hilarious, but you know what NO HISSING or crackling. Maybe you thought you need a cheap sound card, but don't be foolded. Get something good (maybe a Audigy 2 is good if you are willing to pay more money)

Creative cards are bad for that... try adjusting PCI latency in your BIOS setup. The default is usually 32; increasing this to 64 fixed the same problem with my creative pci128.
