I picked up a ATi Radion x1600 graphics card a few weeks ago to play Oblivion and ever since I've been having nasty audio conflicts with FFXI. Shortly after booting the game up I get this nasty crackling on all audio in the game (SFX and Music), as well as any audio playing on my computer (Ventrilo, Winamp, etc). I've had similar problems before when a program was rendering the sound twice, which give it the massive reverberation effect which is causing the funky sound and horrible crackling noise.
My sound card and video card do occupy different IRQ channels, so I know it's not that. I have experienced the problem with both the ATi Catalyst drivers as well as the Omega drivers; I use the Omega's now so I can play Oblivion properly. I have the most up to date drivers from Creative for my SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 24-bit and have recently done a full wipe of codecs and reinstalled the full K-Lite Codec Pack.
Any suggestions please! I love the sound and music off FFXI, it's a huge part of the experience and I hate to miss out with all the new stuff Aht Urghan will have to offer.
