check and see which IRQ # your cards are sharing with other PCI devices, in particular your video card. If your sound card SBLive! is sharing you can change it in your systems bios to an un-used IRQ # or (the better solution) move your sound card to open non-sharing PCI slot on you system main board. Hope this helps. BTW: if you make changes in your BIOS for IRQ #'s your are likely to have problems in you Wins OS if dual-booting. -William At 05:50 PM 10/23/2001 -0400, Cleary_Mike@emc.com wrote:
I have a dual-boot machine (SuSE 7.2 & Win98) and I get crackles on both OS's. It's been this way ever since I installed the SBLive! card. I never had these problems w/ my old AWE 64. I think that there is (at least in part) a conflict w/ NVIDIA cards/drivers. At one point soon after installing the SBLive! I was getting horrible distortion in the music on some games. When I uninstalled the detonator drivers (don't remember which version now) this problem went away. I emailed both NVIDIA and Creative a couple of times, but never received a single response from either of them. It seems that the only thing in common with the situations described in this thread is the SBLive! itself.
Just another stick on the fire......:)

I have the same thing, but it only happens to me when I am running Setiathome. Every few seconds (~15) I will get a quick crackely sound and also at startup. If I disable setiathome it goes away, but I always get it at startup.
yup, i have exactly the same problem. would really like to find a solution to it,its very annoying.

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
