If so, does it increase with increasing HDD or network load ? Which board/chipset is this ? Maybe VIA or SiS 735 ? My Aztech PC168 has such crackling sound problems on my ECS K7S5A board (SiS 735 chip), and the chip has quite a history of DMA transfer issues with soundcards.
Try inserting the card into a different PCI slot. Could make one hell of a difference.
