Graham, Incidentally, I'm also told that the chances are that although the crackle has been sorted, some of the other features of the sound card may be affected as these drivers are not the perfect solution. If your other idea fixes the crackle and leaves all the proper functionality, I'd certainly be interested in knowing this.

Thanks again.

I downloaded the latest soundblaster live drivers and that seemed to cure it. I think the you do this from http://europe.creative.com Regards Graham Cheers Graham ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jamie Cuthbertson" <jamie.cuthbertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Jaws-UK" <Jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2006 8:56 PM Subject: [jaws-uk] Crackle in speech All, I know that this has been discussed before some time ago but can't remember the details of the fix. Any ideas would be gratefully received. Essentially I am using Jaws 7.1 with Windows XP Pro and a SoundBlaster Live sound card. Having just installed Jaws I have found that I am now getting a very annoying crackling and faint echo following any verbalisations from Jaws. I think that the solution is to do with drivers for the SoundBlaster card but can't remember the details. Any elephants out there with long memories?
