im about 95% sure that the poppign sound that you hear would be your speakers, not the actual card itself. the card is just processing the signal and sending it to the speakers.
I have the XtremeMusic. And no, its not the speakers. My old sound card(s) worked fine, and if you read reviews of the X-Fi line, you will see that almost 50% or more users who have that card hear popping and cracking, but not all the time.

The problem is most likely driver related, and not actually hardware related.

It's not flatout 2. With my Audigy it sounded fine, but not with the X-Fi.
