Check that either in the bios or in a program that start with Windows, that no cpu throttling is happening.

Is the crackling sound occasional on some songs? because I think windows 7 just messed up a lot of my music because if I drag them on something like a Blackberry, they carry on it as well and crackles like it does on the computer.... sigh. | My System Specs | | |

If it crakles on the Blackberry it means the noise is embedded in the MP3 files and not generated by the PC's sound card on playback. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number My Own Build OS Windows 7, 64 bit Home SP1, Win 8 Pro 64 bit CPU Intel i7 3770 Motherboard Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H Memory 16GB GSkill Ripsaw F3-14900CL9Q-16GBXL Graphics Card Sapphire HD7770 Sound Card RealTek Monitor(s) Displays Viewsonic VA2448 Series 24" LED Screen Resolution 1920X1080 Keyboard Kensington wired Mouse Logitech Wireless PSU Antec High Current Gamer HCG-620M Modular Case Coolermaster HAF XM Cooling Corsair H80 Liquid cooling with aftermarket Nexus quiet fans Hard Drives 240GB Intel 520 SSD for Win 7

Got the same problem, tried switch to maximum perfomance in batter options, installing srs sandbox audio 1.9, realtek drivers 2.50, 2.20, 2.19, 2.18 and Windows default drivers. Laptop Asus x50sl. With Vista32drivers sound crackle becomed less noisy but still annoying. I dont have any boost or CnQ in bios.
Crackle increases when i'm speaking on skype + winamp playing. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x86 |

Make sure you've updated drivers far all wired & wireless network connections.
You can always download the DPC latency checker (non intrusive, doesn't even write to the registry) to check the real-time media streaming stats.
Read the docs on this program, it has helped many here. DPC Latency Checker
