    X-Fi Prelude Crackling When Gaming...?

    That did the trick! I set 16bit/48khz in both the speaker and spdif areas (speakers alone didn't work), then restart my computer (crackling didnt go away immediately after changing the settings), but it works perfectly now. Thanks.

    X-Fi Prelude Crackling When Gaming...?

    Thanks, that was very helpful. So an update... my headphones seem to work smashingly, even while the buzz-popping continues on my 5.1... which is interesting. At the moment, I'm using optical out to a home theatre grade Sony receiver. I've ruled out the decoder since everything else I plug...

    Cracking sound with Auzentech Prelude

    I don't see how it could be a hardware issue since it's peachy keen in one OS but not in another. It's got to be either a driver problem or a setting somewhere. I wouldn't even bother booting into XP if GameFly or PeerGuardian worked in Vista64, but since they don't I have to switch off...

    Cracking sound with Auzentech Prelude

    I have a similar problem except the crackling is only in XP and only on the two right speakers in my 5.1 Setup (connected via optical out to decoder). There are no problems at all in Vista x64 (running dual boot), only XP and only when using my 5.1 speakers. The problem persists if different...

    Building a New Desktop - Advice for $3k System

    Thanks! I found the IFX-14 at Petra's Tech Shop, although it looks like they're oos atm. I'll also order a handful of fans for the case and the CPU. ;) Edit: Looks like the IFX-14 will be way too big for the case. I'll have the find something a little shorter (140mm or less).

    Catalyst drivers will not install...

    This morning I tried to update the drivers for my X1950, but when the official Catalyst 8.2 drivers started to install, I got a a message saying "This display driver is not compatible with the display adapter(s) installed in your system." Uh, what? So I figured I'd just do it the right way...
