What I did to fix my X-Fi issues

First, I thought of changing the pci card to another slot (because of the famouse IRQ issues) but I was too lazy to do it so I was thinking about it and decided to install the SupremeFX II card (to see if the BIOS or windows would change the IRQ of the sound cards, idk I was just been creative ) and at the same time, when the SoundMAX installed asked me to restart the pc, I went to BIOS and I went to where nobody ever thought about (as far as I know cause I never saw this posted before) the plug and play options and changed that disabled to enable (let OS manage it).
When I restarted the PC, played all my songs, none of them had crackling sounds!!! Happy music (bass for me )

Hope that helps you guys
I already had my Plug & Play OS enabled in the bios so I move the soundcard to the other PCI slot...problem solved no crackling. Thx for the tip Slim
