I have a really annoying and strange problem with my sound card (X-Fi Xtreme Gamer). Before I go on, I am running Windows Vista and yes, I have downloaded the latest drivers.

Generally, the only time I have the problem is in certain situations for no apparent reason. When I play games such as BioShock, Crysis, Left 4 Dead or Team Fortress 2, everything is fine. When, however, I play games such as Mass Effect or World in Conflict, there is very often constant poppin sounds and static. Eventually, the popping and static just leads to a screeching noise followed by no sound whatsoever.


I've tried so many things to figure out what the problem is. Thanks in advance for any help that any of you can offer me.
