Anyone have a problem with W2K direct sound when full hardware acceleration is enabled? I get pops, static, etc. when playing DXS enabled games like Diablo II or using WinAmp in DirectSound mode.

Yes, A LOT of people are having this problem.

Creative is aware of it and are working on a driver update.

I was looking through the forums earlier today. Someone else was having problems like that. It was fixed by turning hardware excelleration down a bit. I can't verify it, but it's worth a try.

Yes, we were talking about how that can help.

I was going to tell Braxus but I realized that he mentioned "full hardware acceleration enabled". I assumed that he'd already played with the acceleration slider.
