Sound Problems win Live and win2K

[MelloJ 0]

I get these wierd crackling sounds when i use my LIVE! SB in win 2k during gameplay.

 

This only happens in games, like Quake 2 and outcast....during weapons discharge.

I have altec lansing ACS54 speakers, and the SB lIve!.

I tried putting in my AWE64, and there was no crackling....is it my Live! card thats defective(which i just got) or is it lack of proper drivers?

i used to the ones were designed for WinNT off the creative site.
