Creative sound distorts under high hard drive activity.
I'm experiencing distorting, crackling, poppiping and other slow downtempo sound issues under high hdd activity in vista. I have an Audigy 2 with latest vista drivers installed for it and it seems to work fine if the hdd isn't transfering much data, but the issue is very annoying if I'm doing any sort of heavy hdd activity. I've tried both winamp/foobar2k/wmp to play mp3s but it wont stop on either one. I've also told all the software to use the sound card directly. Any ideas? Both my HDDS are WD and sata. My system specs:

AMD Opteron 165 @ 2655Mhz
Corsair XMS PC3200C2 2.5,3,3,6 @ 245MHz or 490DDR
eVGA 7800GT CO SE (510/1200)
OCZ-520ADJ SLI PSU
Creative Audigy 2
WDC 400KD 16mb cache 7200rpm
WDC 200JD 8mb cache 7200rpm
