This seems to be a wierd problem. I just bought a new set of Promedia 4.1s. When I play mp3s, and have the surround sound turned up, the left front speakers makes a static/crackle noise during certain frequencies. When I turn down the surround volume, the static crackle noise stop. I'm tried swapping speakers for the left surround, but I keep getting it, so I'm sure its not a speakers issue. Is this somehow a SB live issue? I have a SB PCI 512 running on Win Xp Pro.

Help me please. I can't stand having paid so much for speakers and having this annoying noise when I listen to mp3s.

I guess I want to make sures its a SB Live issue before I opt to buy another sound card.

Best for you is to try out another sound card in your pc. Then you'll know for sure it's the SB's fault.
Did you said SB PCI 512? I don't think it's actually a Live! card. What drivers have you installed?
