Possible Solution: Download and install the latest driver from the Creative website here. Scenario 3 In a small number of cases the game crackling issues were found to be caused by the X-Fi driver related implementation. This problem is not unique to X-Fi, it causes crackling/distortion with a number of other audio products we have tested. We recommend setting the AFR (Alternate Frame Rendering) mode in nHancer to reduce the maximum interrupt deferral times (called DPC) to the 10-25 millisecond range. Possible Solution: A third party tool called "nHancer" (has been found to make it possible to mitigate this problem by retuning the graphics driver. These times have been observed to be as long as 100 milliseconds and causes the audio data buffers handed to the sound card driver by the application to become stale. One game where this problem has been observed is the game Farcry, but other games may be affected as well. Scenario 2 Very lengthy handling of Interrupt Service Routines (ISR) and Deferred Procedure Calls (DPC) by the graphics driver on nForce motherboards (Asus, MSI, Gigabyte are some motherboard vendors that use this chipset) particularly when nVIDIA SLI graphics are used. Where this is not possible, reduce the master volume level in Windows. These samples have been found to overload the X-Fi audio enhancement algorithms which result in output streams that clip, or exceed the allowable output signal swing. Scenario 1 A game's audio samples have levels or DC biases that are unusually high.

If there is no BIOS update available for your motherboard yet there might be other ways to fix the problem which are listed below. Overall Creative believes a Motherboard BIOS update will fix the crackling and popping and they are still working on that with nVidia and other motherboard/chipset manufacturers. If both failed, which still seems to be the case for many X-Fi owners, here is a new update straight from Creative.Īccording to Creative only approximately 0.03% of the users are affected from which only 0.01% reported the issues.
In an effort to fix this problem Creative released a new X-Fi driver (beta) and wrote a technical analysis. Since it's introduction there have been a lot of people reporting crackling and popping caused by their SoundBlaster X-Fi making games unplayable.
