    Auzen X-Fi Prelude's problem

    I just purchased Prelude today, and I'm getting pops/static sound when playing music, video..etc.

    I'm using Logitech G51 as my speaker, and running under Windows7 64bit.

    I have download the newest driver from Auzen's site, and try switching PCI slot, but the noises are still there.

    Is there a fix for this??

    Thanks

    Does your onboard sound do the same thing?
    Onboard RAID vs. 3Ware RAID

    I never recommend people run RAID-5 with onboard chipsets.

    Does the website provide other drivers besides the latest?  Try using an older driver.. Go back a version or two or use the driver that came with the card (if it came with one)..  If you see a WHQL driver download for Windows 7, try that one..    Also try turning your audio levels down in software and on the speakers, turn the volume up.

    I think it's because the card is pulling off(well the devices connected it) more power than the PCI slot can supply. I seem to have had/observed the issue on several PCI sound cards.

    I may be wrong but I believe this is one of the reasons PCI-E X1 is a better choice for sound cards.

    Personally, I would return it and purchase a high quality PCI-E X1 sound card.
