Random Crackling Sound

[Aydos]

Hello All,

I use a Creative Fata1ity USB Headset for playing games. I use a VOIP Client called Mangler for ventrilo. I play WoW via WINE.

I am not sure what is causing it, but the sound quality will be amazing and then randomly go to this crackling, static, ping, underwater sound for people in Mangler and for the WoW sound.

What I do is go system > preferences > sound and then turn the sound to off and then back to my setting and it is fixed. It will then come back randomly. It could be 5 minutes or an hour.

Anyone have any clue what this could be or how to narrow it down. Makes raiding kind of hard when I have to fix my sound randomly while healing a boss fight.

It did this on 10.04 and then on 10.10

I will try that and see if it works, but my only concern is that it was doing it in 10.04 before I did a clean install today of 10.10.
