I am running a Dell Studio Intel quad core with the Realtek audio drivers installed with W7. I have noticed the popping and crackling sound when running iTunes and even when watching video at times. I have tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling and am now running without Realtek. I am still noticing the popping noise even with the driver uninstalled. I have tried messing with the speaker settings and turning system volume down, etc. My speakers are Logitech Z 5300 5.1 system. I have messed with the power settings on the CPU to no avail. I hope this is something that either Realtek or Microsoft fixes!
