[cma-l] Audio crackling

[London Chinese Radio]

Hi,

I wonder if anyone has had problems with audio crackling?
I have recently changed to a different streaming PC, (because it was XP,
and I had a Marian marc8 midi sound card which has 8 ins and outs, but
doesn't support Win7), and it was fine for about a month, until it started
crackling. I put all the audio on a seperate HD, and because they are quite
close together, I also fitted a large fan next to them, which delivers
quite an icy blast across the disks.
It starts crackling after a few hours, and it ruins the stream. It is
solvable by rebooting. I originally thought it could be something
overheating, but since it is solved by rebooting, without the time for
anything to cool down, I don't think that is it.

System info:

Airmate out into Soundcard in (channels 1 & 2)
mAirlist (6 Channels) and computer audio (2 channels) via Soundcard outs
into Airmate channels
Asus P5K-VM motherboard with an Intel Core2 duo CPU. (it's a Red Sub
computer with a few extra things I've added)
The CPU cooler is a bog standard one but with a funnel that directs the hot
air out of a vent on the side.

Anyway, if you have an idea, I'd really appreciate any advice.
