Vista - RE: Sound is crackling when listening to music.

Follow up to my OP. I uninstalled the SoundBlaster Audighy2 sound card and
all software and drivers. Now I am using themother boards sound and seems
great. Sofar no speaker crackling and no fade ot to no sound at all. Lets
hope this works and hope maybe this will help others who read it.
