well i don t have a VIA chipset... and i do have a crakling sound effect + sometimes no sound at all or sometimes just no sound when moving with vehicles...
i do have also a CRASH REBOOT problem..
did disable the auto reboot feature it said : DXG.SYS problems...
check if you have enough disc space.. did let the system handle it will see if it works..
but for the crackling/missing sounds, don t know!! just tried put turbo at 0 will tell you...
i got DIRECT X 9 and a soundblaster LIVE! PLAYER5.1
