Sound "popping" in some games

[wakawaka]

I'm using an MSI rs480's onboard and my audio is "popping". Anyone know a cure for this or what "could be" the problem?

Recent games it has happened in:

Star Wars Republican Commando
SWAT 4

I'm sorry I don't have anything helpful to say, but that's a very funny typo.

Try lowering the volume in windows and compensating by increasing the volume of the speakers. Sometimes when my volume was set too high [above 75%] in windows, the speakers would pop [this was on an older rig w/ a SB Live 5.1].

If your audio is truly host based (onboard almost always is), you may simply be maxing out your CPU and the drivers four your sound handle it without aplomb.
