Creative X-Fi Issue ?

If you have a Creative X-Fi Card, and particularly if you are having
"Crackling" issues, you need to read this:

Luckily I haven't had these issues. I have the $400 X-Fi elite Pro. Not
sure if the extra memory this one has on-board helps with this or not.

I have had several Creative cards right back to the soundblaster days.
I think the only line I didn't go for was the LIVE cards...and I don't
recall ever having cracking issues.
But I do recall, especially with GPL, (and somewhat with the N4+ titles)
Creative had users with crackling problems. It sounds like this will be an
issue as long as Creative writes custom drivers that hog the pci bus.

A Creative card with crackling/driver issues? Gee, what a shock...

Yes, they all have haven't they? and it's all been down to PCI timings IIRC.
