GPL: diamond mx300 - minor problem

Just installed a new Diamond mx300. GPL has little pops or crackles in the sound for all engines. It's really not that bad, but definitely noticeable. Other sound functions and other games are ok, just GPL. I had an onboard sound card before, and the good news is that the mx300 boosted the frame rate noticeably and allows me to run with more that more than 4 sounds without any performance hit. Plus, when I calibrate my joystick in win95 the little crosshair actually sits still! Anyone else with similar experiences?? -zzz

I had an MX200, which I loved, but I got rid of it because there were little pops or crackles in the sound for all engines... :) I bought a SoundBlaster Live Value for $99 and couldn't be happier--even with headphones (which was unbearable with the Diamond).
