33 you dont get it, the cards been out what 2 years now? and they still havent fixed alot of the issues with it, the first cards wouldnt work with most boards or if you had certen other cards in your system......just bad design and testing, then horrid support!!!!
they promised sb live and audigy windows x64 drivers with full control software, never happened from what i have seen.
creative has been doing this since the sb live came out, they could have software patched the live cards to stop crackling back then but wouldnt because it would cause 3-5% more cpu use on via chipset systems!!!
blah, till you deal with creative support urself.....request a fix for a problem, die waiting.....rofl.
