Just saying I notice a similar problem but, I think, only with its digital output. I started using the Creative ctfxi driver about 6 months ago and for about 3 months time I had no such problems, then about 2 to 3 months ago it started providing a crackling distorted sound.. probably after a kernel upgrade. I think we can only hope for a driver update from Creative. --markc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
