Crackling ? IIRC one had to use DMA to make sure the buffer was properly filled... I don't remember having any "clicks" in the MODtracker file I was playing...

first SB didnt support autoinit https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=52806 "DMA Sound Blaster 1.x 'seamless' playback investigation".

Of course Creative screwed again with numerous bugs in SB16 https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=50071

* MPU-401 Hanging Note Bug.

* MPU-401 Stuttering with high sampling rates.

* Single-Cycle DMA Clicking (Non Vibra).

Not to mention poor engineering practices like leaving floating opamps resulting in noisy cards.
