    Anyone else have popping/cracking in the audio?

    I've noticed that my audio pop/cracks sometimes. I noticed it really bad in crysis last night.

    I also notice it in Star trek online when i'm on a space station with people walking around.

    I'm running an R2, so it isn't a latency issue (i checked it, and it's not a stutter anyway).

    Anyone else had this issue? Know of a fix? I have cleaned and reinstalled the audio drivers, but that didn't help.

    Figured I would check here before I call Dell.
