Been having problems with the sound crackling in some games since I installed this motherboard. The speech from different game characters also slurs alarmingly. Tried every fix I can find, and it then appeared that the answer was to buy an add-in sound card to bypass the onboard soundmax thing, so........ got a creative xi-fi audio today and the problem is no better. Have the latest drivers, and uninstalled the old Asus ones. Anyone had this problem and solved it?
