When I'm playing Freelancer, occasionally I'll start to hear slight crackling in my headphones. It often happens when I'm using BorderWorlds ships, and in a system with quite a bit of ambiance. It is definitely just freelancer, as my music is not crackling if I minimize. Any tips?

Do you have any other programs running, ie; Skype, MSN, Yahoo or other chat program? The reason being that I had a similar crackle with Skype running in the background, once I closed it, no more crackle.

Try to reduce the task priority of your mp3 player.
I bet it is on high or above.
Also check the hardware acceleration of your sound device in the system settings.
