I've looked in the BIOS setting and the only settings that are available for processor clock speed are dynamic and low. I tried setting the minimum possessor state to 100% under power options but it didn't work. I'm asking as I have read somewhere that CPU frequency changes may be the cause of crackling issues with Realtek HD audio. I guess my only other alternative would be having to set the CPU speed to "low" in the BIOS settings.

I apologize in advance, I'm not trying to insult your intelligence EDIT: Actually, I reread your post. Does setting your computer in Windows 7 to "high performance" mode help? Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options High Performance automatically puts the minimum processor state at 100%
