Try dropping the hardware acceleration and play with the volume controls if that doesn't work.

Are you using an external amp? You should never pass the 75-80% max 85% master system volume (or winamp volume), use the external (speakers) volume to pump the sound.

yeah i did, it doesnt help...
it has something to do with the audigy card and my DTT2500 digital surround system from creative, coz i noticed that if i listen over the headphones connected on the front panel of my audigy card that there are no crakling sound anymore....
 
but your eq problem, did you try with different setting?, coz sometimes there just to much middle and bass so the speakers cant take it...

Try swaping your sound cables. They could be buggered

Try to switch between winamp's output plugins(DirectSound/WaveOut)
this may help!
