You might want to check PCI latency settings for your sound-card. Here's a good tool to check timings:

http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=951

The .exe comes with 2 files, install the 'LtcyCfg3-x86.msi' file, or the other install-file if you're running Win-XP 64-bit.

The tool is very easy to use. First see what your sound card device(s) latency values are, and save default info in a text file or something.

If the sound-card is working properly, you might want to try a latency setting of '032', and 'apply/save' settings. If this doesn't help, increase to 64, 128, 200, etc.

If changing latency settings does not help, simply restore your original sound-card values.

Here's a good article about latency, someone just posted it here a couple days ago, at:

p.s. I had all sorts of 'pop/crackle' noise with built-in MB sound-chip. Getting an SB card solved that problem.
