I've mentioned this problem before. It seemed to go away around the
2.6.8 timeframe, but when I started using 2.6.9, it came back. I'm
using 2.6.10, and it's still happening.

almost identical system here, other than i'm using an ASUS A7V600 motherboard but otherwise have identical chipset, graphics card.
(although the ASUS board has a rev60 version of the sound driver).

no problems with audio crackling at all, using 2.6.10 and 2.6.1-rc2-mm2 with audio compiled into the kernel (not using modules for OSS/ALSA).

perhaps the interrupt is shared with some other device?
perhaps your speakers are dying?

this is my mythtv box so i'd certainly notice if the audio was bung.
