There is a problem which exists on many systems with VIA 82C686 sound chips where X causes the sound to become crackly. This behavior can be fixed by adding the following to the Device section of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:

 

Option "PciRetry" "true"

 

This is how mine looks:

 

Section "Device"

Identifier "device1"

VendorName "nVidia Corporation"

BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce3 (generic)"

Driver "nvidia"

Option "DPMS"

Option "PciRetry" "true"

 

I was having a similar issue with sound in RTCW and this little entry fixed all of my sound problems. I hope this may help some of you out there who are experiencing the same problem.
