Please make it stop!

Hello genuises, I have a big problem. I have a new computer with an E-MU 1212m sound card connected to a pair of KRK Rokit 6 monitors. It all sounds nice and amazing, but...

For some reason (I'm in the sound card forum because I haven't narrowed down the problem--I don't know where to begin) my speakers snap and pop sporadically during playback (a lot). It is quite loud and I don't know what to do.

What could be causing this? How do I narrow down my problem and rule out various components so I can find the culprit?

As you probably know, this kind of trouble is quite abysmal. My stomach drops every time I hear the darn things pop.

Thanks friends.

Check the buffer size and increase it. Make sure you use the ASIO driver of you soundcard instead of DirectX or Multimedia. Does it get worser when you touch the cables or its plugs? In that case, you have bad cables or connections.
