Anybody have a good suggestion for a new sound card, my SB Live has a
terrible crackling sound in N2002.
I know this seems to be a common problem. So If anyone has a good Audio
Card recommendation I think I will just go buy one.
Thanks,

Good luck.
I made the following edits to the core.ini file on the demo, which
completely cured the poppping problem I had. I don't know if it works in
the full game as I don't have it yet. I'm thinking it will though.
Sound]
allow_buffer_recreation=1 ; re-create sound buffers to
improve quality
enable_3d_interpolation=1 ; enable volume interpolation for
3d sound
force_default_buffer_size=6 ; Set forced buffer size in 1/36
second units. Define a value of 3 or larger
interpolationValue=0

Turtle Beach Santa Cruz is a nice soundcard.

I tried those settings in the full game, and the popping/crackling problem
improved, but didn't go away entirely. It is quite a bit better though.

Do you have ACPI enabled in your bios? I've read that ACPI can cause
crackling on some systems. Also, if you have an option to adjust PCI latency
in the mb bio then try playing around with that as I have also read this can
be a cause of crackling sound too. SB Live! is known to rob the PCI bus and
that is the most likely reason why people get crackling on that card.
