I found a new driver, released last summer that seems to have eliminated the weird crackle I was hearing, hopefully that'll do the trick.

The one I had, from a few years ago was labelled as the final release for this "end of life" sound card.

Guess I'll hold fast for now.
Thanks all....

That's what i like in this card, it has EOL status yet it still sees driver updates fixing issues.

Listening to McCartney's "Ram" as we speak. I think I can declare my issues solved....
