I have SB AWE and the sound is good at first but then it starts this constant plobplobplob. If I swith liste off and talk on and talk off and listen on then it plays Ok for a while and starts again. I think some buffer fills and sound driver is doing something not so good. Maybe cutting part of buffer out and trying to catch time up ???
