Soundblaser Live! and VIA chipset "crackling"

[bobito20]

Has anyone else suffered from a "crackling" noise coming from the Soundblaster Live! card when combined with a VIA chipset? I have read a few things on the SB newsgroup that suggests others are having this problem, but no one seems to have a clue on how to fix it. I have changed the PCI slots that it is in, and that does nothing. Can someone help!!???

Thanks!

Come to think of it, i suppose i have a similar problem... but i just always assumed it was low hz encoding on mp3's or a bum audio cable to my stereo.

I just bought a Soundblaster Live value and installed it in my new KT7-RAID. No problems with the sound whatsoever.

Actually I bought the soundblaster because the Diamond MX-300 i had in there would NOT work. it would lock up everytime the soundcard was accessed.
