I get short little repeated beeps when I'm playing a game, or running 3dmark.
What could be causing this?

Why do I sometimes hear crackling noises coming from my speakers?
Most of the time this is caused my IRQ conflictions. Make sure that you have the latest sound drivers which can be obtained from Windows Update and make sure that you have the latest nForce drivers which can be found here. Another cause may be because of interference from the other jacks. You can fix this by going into your nForce Control Panel and muting the line-in, mic, aux, and other jacks that you are not using. The most common fix is to mute the line-in. Also, you can try to change the "Sample Rate Conversion Quality" in the Playback/Advanced/Performance part of the nForce Control Panel. Or you can go into the BIOS and set the PCI latency to 128. The PCI latency was an old trick used on boards with Via chipsets.

Exactly. Slap a HS (passive is fine) on the SB and you should be good to go.

If you can find one, an old 40mm i486 HSF combo and some thermal tape fits perfectly, and there's a fan header close enough to reach....

*sigh*
Fired up UT2K3 tonight, and the sound problems came back... Then it was ok for a while, and started acting up again.
Worst it's ever been, actually. Came dang close to stuffing the ol SB Live! value in there, until they figure out the fix for this. I still might.

If you have the Hardware Doctor installed, the beeps are alerts. Look for any sliders that are close to the min or max and adjust. Thats the source of beeps. Cracking sound is a different story.

Umm, I have an NF7-s v2, and I cant find what you are refering to, well I can find the Nforce control pannel, but there arnt any of the things you mention in there... There are 6 tabs at the top, none of them say what you mentioned, why cant I find them? I think im using the "nForce 2.03 Win2k" drivers if that makes any difference?!
Im just going to download the new thing off windows update, and see if that makes any difference :/
Okay, after installing the update, still no sucess, can someone point me in the right direction please?
