hi, ive recently purchased and new computer with a SMAX high definition sound card. The problem i am having is that the speakers tend to crackle at an explosion in a game or any other load noice. This never happend before i went HD. Do you need special HD speakers? Also when i try to switch back to analogue the sound stopps working and comes up with a driver error and wont let me re-install the SMAX software or even run it.
I have creative 5.1 speakers. Thanks
