Can you please help me fix a crackling/distortion problem that i have with AA when recording?

I've read before on the forum that some other users have the same problem and I've tried quite about everything to fix my problem as well, but still no result.
When I record, be it in AA 1 or in AA 3, i sometimes end up with channels being distorted (randomly!).
Here's my config:
I think it's important to say that I've been having this problem starting only a few months ago, though I haven't reinstalled Windows or anything. I'm working with windows XP SP3. I think (though i'm not sure) the problem occured about the same time I've updated my M-Audio drivers to version 5074. I've also tried disabling C1E as I've read on this forum on another topic and no result.
Also,
here's a sample of the crackling:

I'll send a bottle of Jack to whoever helps me fix this one Really now, I'm desperate!

I don't hear crackling in that sample, myself, just a split-second rant in another language I can't identify, but anyhoo...
1. Have you tried rolling back to the 5069 driver?

I see you're having your issue in WinXP SP3. One guy (see post 43 on page 5) reports it in Win 7 with this driver. People have reported better success with the 5069 driver but that one has been reported to lock on shutdown in Win7.
3. Check out this thread:

Same driver, Win7, different M-Audio card, different sound program, but crackling/sizzling. Fix reported by OP in post 14 by adjusting BIOS settings:
Disabling EIST (Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology) and CPU C state in the power section of the BIOS made all the crackle sizzle go away!
There's a checkmark in the last window in your screenshots for that one. Also discussion of suggestions to adjust latency, etc., in soundcard which didn't fix it for him but may have for others.
If those give no joy, please post motherboard brand and model.

Can YOU please help me fix my Macbook? :/

SORRY, I KNOW THIS IS TL;DR, BUT I'M TRYING TO GET THE BEST POSSIBLE DIAGNOIS:
Two days ago I decided to restart my Macbook. When the screen popped up it gave me the option of "Reopen windows when logging back in". I never noticed this before switching from Snow Leopard to Lion but maybe it's always been there. Anyways, as you know it is checked by default so I unchecked it just out of curiosity and restarted my system.
When the system came back on, my desktop background had vanished, hot corners will not work, dock does not show up, and when I try to change any of these preferences they do not take. (i.e.-changing orientation of the dock from bottom to left, it simply won't let me select left) I can only open applications from spotlight, and when I mouse over an item now it turns the font white, which never happened before since I did not have it set like that. In addition, google chrome and safari both crash quite frequently since these mess-ups, and so I have resorted to doing all of my work from Firefox.
I've read in these forums as well as other place on the web about this problem happening, but I have tried all of the remedies to no avail. In the past, the problem for users was a lot of the time caused by the use of a wireless mouse. However, I have never used a wireless mouse so this can't be the problem. I also went in to disk utilities and ran a repair, thinking maybe something might click but nothing did. I have restarted/shut down many times just to see if the problem has fixed itself, which it hasn't yet. I've gone into Activity Monitor and relaunched Finder several times, and also noticed that Report Crash is working super hard on the system for some reason. (Maybe because of many of my programs freezing and crashing?) I also deleted many recent downloads, since I had one or two unfinished downloads and this had been the problem for one user inparticular...I did a "Secure Empty Trash" from the finder menu for these items. I also ran CleanMyMac and uninstalled a couple of applications that I don't use just for good measure...still NOTHING. Lastly, This black bar shows up on the apple loading screen when restarting or turning on from shut down. What could it be? It has only been there since the problems began.
I'm in no way an expert with computers, I just own a macbook and it's having problems. If you guys could lend your expertise as a last ditch effort that'd be great. I'd prefer not to take it to GeekSquad, Apple Store, or a repair shop because I'm a college student and I'm literally broke at the moment, so any remedies or ideas would take weight off of my chest.
Thanks in advance-Jameson

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t have Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion.You should also post this question there. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

Hi Samantha,
Are you aware that if you restore your ipad that you will lose all data from your ipad and very difficult to get it back unless you had previously made a back-up of your data on itunes or in the cloud. and that would be on the computer you set those up on. (There are some independent apps out there that might help restore data but I don't have any experience with them...)
Also, I think if you restore on another computer you're supposed to have administrator rights and have the latest itunes update. And I think if you sync (if restoring is considered syncing with another computer, you'll be locked out of your computer or a new one.)
I don't know if there is a way for you to safely eject your ipad from your mom's laptop and find another way, but please read this
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275
Also, I suggest you start a new post and title it something like First, stuck on update and now on Restore on another computer. Please HELP! And then tell the story of your problem that you originally included and your follow-up efforts to restore given a suggestion on previous post (though I think you SHOULD AVOID RSTORE if you can.) And refer them to your original post
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22050045?ac_cid=tw123456#22050045
Hope this helps and if you can get back to your ios before the upgrade, stay with it. I hope it all works out for you.
FYI - If it's a new or refurb bought within the past year you might be able to have it replaced by Apple.

Hey Apple can you please help me with this issue, i have a iPhone 3gs and when i put my sim card into the iPhone it makes iphone 3gs shut down suddenly how do i fix that?

You could restarting your phone that sometimes fixes issues
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

My husband and I both have iPhones on the same account. When he did his update yesterday, he chose both his number and my number during set up. Now he is getting my messages, too. Can someone please help me fix this?

What do you mean he chose his and your number during setup. Chose them for what? Is you number showing up in the Settings>Messages>"You can be reached by imessage at" section? If it is he needs to remove it.

It sounds like you are running the student edition which comes with a
textbook and doesn't support external code such as DLLs, CINs, or
ActiveX. You might want to check with others at your university and see
about getting access to an academic edition or a
full edition.

I was using my iPad 3 when it suddenly blacked out and it won't turn or start. can anyone please help me fix it?

I was using my iPad 3 awhile ago when it just blacked out and now it won't start. Can anyone please help me fix it?

Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

HT4528 My IPhone Bugged out/It is currently in the reset mode. I need to exchange all of my contacts from my Yahoo acct. to my new IPHONE. Can you please help me?

Hello ,
I purchased my IPHONE about 2 months ago. I am visiting family in DE & this tuesday it starting to go off & on by itself. Then the icons looked like they were floating . Then I could not call or text . The SIRI device would not work. Then it would shut down then the apple icon would reappear. I took it to a verizon dealer in Rehoboth DE & they said it BUGGED OUT/It is in a RESTORE MODE. It will not turn on. We could not transfer anny of my pics or contacts. I never even had a chance to back up the memory on ITUNES.
The tech @ Verizon said to contact APPLE to trouble shoot and try and transfer the contacts from my yahoo acct.
Can you please help?
Gina

set up your yahoo account in mail, contacts, calendars as an Exchange Account and you should be able to get your contacts from Yahoo from there.

My ipod touch is stuck on the 4.2.1 software, its a 3rd gen as well i was just wondering why i can not get the lastest update can you please help me with this issue

i have been having an issue with updating my ipod touch for some time now and i can not seem to get it to update to the lastest update. it is stuck on 4.2.1 software and i can not update it to 4.3 or any other ios software update. can you please help me to solve this issue.

It sounds like you actually have a 2G iPod Touch which can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. If it's an 8 GB iPod Touch it's definitely a 2G iPod Touch as there was never such a thing as a 3G 8 GB iPod Touch. See this article to help verify what generation iPod Touch you have.

Hi Mike,
CRSE is an OEM Product and for use with a custom application they have written. Unfortunately we don't their reports or how they are connecting, it would appear they were originally built off a SQL and then set to a Dataset in the app or they could be adding the data source at runtime. Lots of variations and without access to the source code to see what they are doing not much we can help you with.
You need to contact the OEM Partner for help in resolving this and find out what you can and need to do to update your SP and work with their canned reports,
Thank you
Don
