OverClockers:
I don't know if you can help me or not but I'll ask anyways.
This is what I have:
Operating System: Windows Vista x64 Home Premium
Memory: Corsair 4 x 1024 Duel Channel PC-3200 DDR
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme Music
When I have 2 GB (2 x 1024 Duel Channel PC-3200 DDR), everything works perfectly (Sound-wize). However, when I add an extra 2GB (4GB in total), I get the crackle/popping issue.
The strange this is when I use onboard sound, I don't get any crackle/popping issues. I would prefer to use my Creative X-Fi over onboard.
Also when I go into my bios and disable S/W Dram over 4G Remapping and disable H/W Dram over 4G Remapping, the sound problem is fixed but Windows only recognizes 3GB of ram instead of the 4GB. And since I paid for 4 sticks, I rather use all 4GB.
I am using the same type of ram (4 x CMX1024-3200C2PT). I am not overclocking anything.
A lot of other people are having similar problems to me:

I contacted Creative and I basically got no answer. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this problem?
