Always something, HDD crashed was thinking about restoring OS on my AMD2.0 but would be faster to just stick with my backup. Crazy enough the frames seem to be about the same from AMD2.0 clock 1666 to a P4 2.4 clocking 2.4, would think it would show some improvement even with the same vidcard.

Took most my hardware out of my Amd and moved it into the p4. Sound worked just fine before even with the old drivers. Now it's crackling, turned down low or turned up. I have bostons and some other brand speakers plugged into that card and both make the sound. Updated from the website and didn't fix the problem. Vid card is up to date.

Sound blaster live 24-bit PCI Card
drivers date: 7/12/2005
drviers version: 5.12.1.512

Motherboard ID 08/19/2003 SiS 648FX 6A7I0E19C-00
Motherboard Name ECS 648FX-A

I use this card as my output and use SIS 7012 for input(mic) not sure if that will help in any way.

audio sample if you can hear the cracking I don't know.. http://media.putfile.com/audio-82-57



MP3s and movie videos seem to play just fine without any sound problems also.

Any ideas, if you need anymore spec plz let me know.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
