Re: Snap, Crackle, Pop - VST Effect & Sound Card Problems

The other variable here seems to be Reaktor which is
relatively new in your setup right?  If you have the stomach
for it, what I would recommend is that you reinstall the OS
again, install the Echo device, then install all your software
except Reaktor.  STOP and test.  Then install Reaktor. Test again.
This is where something like Norton Ghost comes in very handy because
you can always get back to a version of the system that was working
without starting all over.

It is possible that the combination of Reaktor and the Audigy is
the problem.  Reaktor may be forcing the Audigy into a mode you
can't back out of.  You may be able to to use one or the other but
not both without some mysterious missing piece of configuration.
