Loud cracking and popping

I have an HTO Striker 7.1 soundcard with the newest drivers. I updated my video drivers as well, since STO informed me that my drivers were old. I have no sound issues with any other program (MW2, DoW2, Torchlight, iTunes, VideoLan).

Whenever I try to turn the camera, which is constantly in STO, a loud cracking and popping takes over for any sound. I only have headphones since speakers were too loud for my roommates. As a result, I have to endure a tremendous amount of painful loud cracks and pops if I want to play. After an hour of this, I had to call it quits.

From what little I was able to talk to people in Zone and Fleet chat, I hear that the newest patch is causing some sound issues. Currently, the only solution is to turn off all the sound from the game and that doesn't fix the problem completely. There are still faint cracks and pops. Also, this interrupts all other programs running, such as iTunes when I run it in the background for music.

Is there a way to fully remedy this? Should I post my DXDIAG?
