Hello guys, I need some help fixing this issue with my build. Basicly I have a SB build, which is a Asus deluxe, 2600K, which is all fine, clocked to 4.5 ghz, which is stable tested, the only issue i have is that my sound card from my old rig. It does not sound as good as before, and i get a lot of crackling and loud pops now and again. I have disabled onboard sound etc, I am using the latest drivers from creative, its a XtremeMusic version that worked fine before. The speakers connected are the logitech logitech z-5500, It may be a driver issue, or should i just buy a new sound card?

Cheers
 
The speakers are connected directly in to the sound card, I know the speakers are fine because i tried them with the onboard sound, just the sound on onboard isnt as good.
 
Yeh will have a look, I spent a long time doing the cable management on this build all the cables are hidden , its a complete new build, New case, psu etc, the only thing old is the sound card, i am tempted to buy a new one. Cheers for the ideas, I will keep trying. Any idea whats a good sound card?, the Asus range looks good
