Hi!
I have been a lurker for a while now, and now I need help.
I have problem with pops, clicks and crackles when I'm opening documents, open web pages, etc.
There was a similar thread about this here:

But I don't think it solely has to do with the player you are using nor with the runtime level of the player (although it helped a bit).
This is my setup:
foobar2K->ASIO->M-audio Delta DIO 2496->toslink/coax->Presonus CS
I Windows task manager I have even set foobar2000 to runtime priority level. I have also set the sound card's buffer to maximum (2048 samples) both in
the foobar settings and in the ASIO panel for the sound card. It helped a bit, but the problem is still there.
On M-audio's support pages I found these

Some time ago I didn't have this problem(lately, I've been tweaking a bit with my computer).
I guess that it has to do with the IRQ settings. The IRQ is shared with other devices. Windows won't let me change the IRQ settings, even with ACPI turned off! I have done it before. I have tried different slots for the sound card, disabling as many devices as possible, but the soundcard still has a shared IRQ(and so does the graphics card).
I don't feel like trying to reinstall Windows again. Why won't XP let me change the IRQ settings?
I'm seriously considering running Linux instead(but I don't have the time right now). Or perhaps I should get a Mac (but I don't have the money right now).
Q1: Does anyone have a solution for this?
Q2: Would this be solved if I had a faster computer? (I have an Athlon XP2000 with 512 MB RAM).
Q3: Are there similar problems with Linux or OS X?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
