Audigy problems!!! Snap, crackle, pop!
This is a discussion about Audigy problems!!! Snap, crackle, pop! in the Windows Hardware category; I uninstalled my soundblaster live and replaced it with my new Audigy OEM. Used the drivers that came on it's CD, and it installed fine. Music sounds much improved on this card (especially. mod's with 16bit samples), but I'm having serious issues.

Problem is, when you use something that has 3D audio, or uses MIDI, you HORRENDOUS crackling, and popping. The EAX mine demo plays fine until the bird starts flying behind you, then the card crackles horribly.
The beta UDA drivers from Reactor Critical don't install properly, and crashed my system, but I tried replacing the SB Audigy Emu10k2 driver with the UDA driver. That solved the crackle/pop issue, but I can't use 3d sound or run Audio HQ.
Changing Via drivers aren't really an option, because last time I tried the 4.34's, they nuked my comp and I had to reinstall windows. Tried changing slots, removing all unnecessary cards, etc. No difference.
Any ideas?
