Abit IN9 32X-MAX Bios update to fix Creative X-fi problems?

[Dikkie]

I would like to know if there will be a new BIOS for this board to fix the cracking/popping problems when combined with an Creative X-FI soundcard and SLI.

Creative already sent out a statement that the issue has been founded and could be resolved with a BIOS update: -**unfortunately im not allowed to post URLs but the stickied thread can be found on the creative board with the title:"Follow-up: X-Fi Crackling/Popping Noises thread - Sound Blaster - Creative Labs"

ASUS already updated their boards(Striker Extreme) with fixes.

The problem occurs when SLI is enabled and music/sounds are played together with graphics rendering (games, visualisations in media player etc).
When SLI is turned off the problem dissapears.

I currently have my x-fi collecting dust and make use of the onboard sound until abit releases a new bios with a fix for this problem.


Specs:
Abit IN9 32X-MAX with BIOS version 13 (latest afaik)
2 x Club3d 8800GT in SLI
Intel Core 2 Duo E6850
4 x 1 gb Crucial Ballistix Tracers
Creative X-fi Extreme Music

Please fix this problem
Thanks!
