Remove the new drivers, and install the old drivers.

Does turning down the hardware acceleration have any effect?

I think that's a bad idea ;( but I will test it

how often does this happen?
Lowering hardware acceleration is not a bad idea at all. It's a common diagnostic.
What motherboard are you using?
If you are using a VIA mobo, have you dried the VIA hack's?
Have you tried the KX drivers?

@Jerry Atrik it often happens in games in "explosion-sounds"
@DosFreak I know there are problems with SB Live! and VIA chipsets, but I haven't a mainboard with VIA chipset... Older drivers work without problems, only the new are so bad I mean, the sound is very fine but this cracking noise is terrible...

I turned down the hardware acceleration, but it didn't help
to get rid of most of my pops and cracks i went into the sound mixer and turned the volume down on all the outputs... including the master
i use the volume on the apps and the speakers.
it got rid of just about all of them

I havent had this problem though. But chances are you could try to reduce the PCU latency of your mobo in BIOS.
