Hmm..... I've been having a problem with the Audigy2 and music playback. I use XMPlay with the res set to 96khz/32bit and every time I pause or close xmplay, the very next sound that plays (like a windows beep, IE page nav click, etc.) is preceeded by a brief hum. Sounds kinda like feedback distortion. Don't really know what could be causing it.
I've already got the latest beta drivers for Audigy cards, but it did the same thing with the old drivers.
Anyone else experiencing this? Maybe with other music players with similar high res settings?
LOL, sorry that this doesn't really fit in with the crackle/pop issue, but it is another weird occurence related to the Audigy.
