    X-Fi XtremeMusic hisses, crackles and pops


    Ok, weird problem here - I've got a Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic and Win7 will detect it, and I've installed the latest drivers (2.18.0008?).

    When it first installs, things are fine. I get sound through iTunes and System sounds.

    But after the first reboot, it hisses and crackles and pops.

    If I go Control Panel -> Hardware & Sound -> Manage Audio Devices, hit configure and try to run the little sound test, it usually hangs and doesn't even get through the test.

    I've tried turning of EAX Effects, CMSS, etc and nothing seems to change it.

    Any ideas?

    As it turns out, this seems to be caused by turning on the "memory hole".

    Sound works, just lost 1GB of memory :|
