Xmod soundcard crackling

    Hi everyone.
    I bought myself the Xmod recently. It does sound great, but
    it has a bad tendency to crackle while playing mp3s. I using it
    in a brand spanking new inspiron 6400 laptop so its definately nothing
    to do with a slow machine or usb drivers.
    I tried it in an old AMD Sempron machine I built 2 years ago and it worked
    the finest, no crackling at all.
    Does anyone have any idea why its like this or have any experience with
    sorting out crackling issues with soundcards (X-fi maybe) in XP?

    Ok just determined that the soundcard definately isn't the problem, as I've tried a different USB sound card (the M-Audio Sonica) and that one is also crackling.

    So now is there a way to insure the USB port gets the entire bandwidth it needs to prevent crackling in the audio? Could the display adaptor (ATI mobility Radeon x1400) be part of the problem?


    EDIT:
    Ok after investigating the problem further I've discovered that if I disable all acceleration on the ATI card, the crackling stops and the card works perfectly.
    Problem is, I don't want to have to do this everytime I want to listen to music....
