Stopped playing VO for a month or so and came back and I got the popping sound on vista, read all the different posts i could about it but nothing would fix it, then randomly i checked and unchecked the voice chat and the sound is fixed, never had this problem before but now i have to do this everytime i start VO. Seems really odd that it fixes it, I do have regular TS running in the background.

Hopefully this fix works for others, but more so why does this work?

if sound is crackling, go to audio options and change the driver, theres a fix there for vista, im not sure why turning vc on and off fixes your problem unless it resets the drivers. maybe im talking about summin different *shrugs*

If I change the driver to its worse than before, but the toggling voice chat works every time.
