Maybe I can help, really not sure thought.... What are you doing exactly? I mean, are you only listening to mp3s or are you doing sound design or editing?
this is a warning
i recently posted about having problems with clicks and pops in my sound with my realtek ac97 alc 658 meanwhile i've been contacting customer support about this and after 4 or 5 replies from them i had still no improvement, they then suddenly stopped responding to me , i made two formal complaints by e-mail and still nothing, i just wish to say that realtek is not a great way to go if you ever need tech support or client services so there is my warning and if anyone has anything to suggest except updating drivers and reinstalling feel free

i dont know why this should work i downloaded the drivers(v3.76) from the realtek website directly when i installed everything, i beliveme i tried uninstalling and reinstalling, formatting pc and going all over the intallation again, still nothing
Why are you sticking with Realtek if it's causing you so much trouble and is so easy to replace?
well i'm just trying all posible solutions cuz i've got no money for now but i am planning to buy a new one , i just wanted to see if there was a way to fix it in the meanwhile
forgot to ask in last post, what would you suggest as a replacement
A cheap Soundblaster PCI card will remove the clicks and pops and give you better overall sound quality. If you play games, you should also see higher fps as the sound is being handled by the soundcard rather than overloading the CPU.
thanks , what about the audigy 2 series , are they worth the money
