Have just installed Windows 7. The sound very bad, with clicks and lots of distortion.
Moving volume up/down causes crackles.
Soundblaster X-Fi on Gigabyte GA-M56s-S3 motherboard with the correct drivers, Windows updates and latest BIOS.
I have kept XP on another drive and swap the boot drive in the BIOS while getting everything back up and running.
The sound in XP is fine. I see quite a bit about Win7 sound problems via Google but I think I've covered all the suggestions there (drivers, cables, BIOS etc).
No other programmes are installed yet, just the OS and updates.
Any ideas much appreciated. Thanks
