hrmm... i am running FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE, i have one of the very first Soundblaster Live! Value cards... i do experience crackles and pops when playing sounds... but what i have noticed is that theyre mostly related to volume. if i use wavplay to play a wave file, it will crackle and pop.... if i play an mp3 with xmms (using the OSS Driver 1.2.3) it wont pop at all because i have the volume set lower in xmms and such... if i turn the volume up all the way in xmms, it will pop and crackle... its difficult to work with because if you set the volume lower, then it wont pop and crackle, but you have to turn the volume on your amp up higher... and i feed two computers through the same amp... and when the other computer makes a sound... its rather loud... that box has an sb16 in it... i think the sblive is good for now with the volume low... some bass and treble controls would be nice... i suggest using aumix or something to turn the volume lower... by the way, the motherboard is an Abit BX6-2 ... with a celeron 300a@450... its got 128mb ram... it doesnt matter the system load or anything... it still does the same thing whether the system load is low or high...
