See my prior post a couple pages back. . .After trying everything and sometimes thinking the crackles/pops were gone, only to return after a few reboots, I did get a Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium card and disabled the onboard Realtek sound. Not one crackle (and better sond overall) since then.
Get the sound card, try it and if it does not work return it. If it does, let us know.
