Audigy Notebook Static On M68XX - Page 2

Another possible solution you guys could try:

Get the PCI Latency Tool from Guru3d.com and lower the latency for the graphics card to 64(usually set too high >250). Standard is 32 for add-in cards. Since the Video and Creative cards are bus masters/hogs they fight over the PCI bus causing the pops. Same thing happens in games.

I've also come across threads on the card reader drivers for the ENE tech CB1410. Some folks have said ENE drivers helped. Here are a bunch that I found, the HPs being the most appropriate:

Hope you fix your problem

The problem is not with the ENE controller. It's a Creative driver issue. I fixed it again by running the diagnostics and setting the speaker test to default. Works as advertised now...just like I reported at first. No popping when muting the sound. Try it Fizi.

My M6807 is still somewhere between Vancover Island and Ontario. God damn RMA. Its been 20 business days, I'm not happy.

Its not the MP3s, I tried them on another computer with a Audigy 2 and guess what, works perfectly.

Oh and according to those three sites the packard bell drivers are newer. I know those are newer then what I found on driverguide.com.

That is a long time. My last RMA was sent and returned within five days. Clearly the Canada support is poor. Are you in Ontario?

Audigy Notebook Fix coming soon

In a post dated today I wrote to Creative Labs telling them to get moving on a fix for the popping noise. There appears to be only one person monitoring their PCMCIA forum and he is not listening very well. Hope this gets the ball rolling.

Edit: Here is a link from ntcompatible discussing the popping issue with the Audigy 2 ZS PCI card. Apparently a driver update solved the popping for that card.
