SBLive! Crackles?

Hi, Back when I first installed SuSE 7.2 (Two months ago) I noticed that my SBLive! "crackles" when a sound is first being played. For example, when using xmms, the first two seconds or so of each track is "crackely". Note: This is when using the kernel module, when built into the kernel it all works fine. Anyone know how to stop this while keeping the sound modular? I thought this was probably fixed by now by all the updates to the emu10k1 driver I saw in the recent kernel changelogs, but perhaps I'm doing something wrong? I'm currently running mantel's 2.4.12 kernel, but the same problem has existed with 2.4.4-2.4.12 with modular sound. Thanks for the help. -- Nick Webb http://www.uidaho.edu/~nickw/
