Sound Crackle Problem

---WARNING: Disturbingly loud and annoying sounds present.--- Alright, so I'm having this problem while recording with Fraps, version 3.4.1. You can hear the result of this problem only all too well by listening to this video. I've already Googled this problem, but sadly, by page 2, the results stop being relevant. I tried doing what the Fraps guide told me: compress it to a different video filetype; I used Windows Movie Maker on my XP SP3 to do this - this is the result. That is one solution that failed. I tried setting all kinds of things with my sound hardware acceleration, but even on the setting 'Emulate' (which is the lowest one possible) it still sounded exactly the same. The biggest problem is that I really don't want to have to redo the video - it would be the best if I could get a solution that would enable me to somehow normalise the sound in the video file itself. I already clipped the sound from the video, went into Audacity to normalise and edit it further, but the only option that would actually remove the crackle (noise removal) reduced the sound to somewhat phased strange bleeps, so sadly that didn't work either. The point is that the video this is from is quite good and I don't want to lose it. Perhaps I'll just have to mute it and put some music under it and that would solve this one case, but then I've still got the problem for when I want to record again. My soundcard's interface is particularly unfriendly in that it doesn't really give you a lot of options to configure - I have SoundMAX. I hope someone out there can help me. Thanks a lot, Shrooblord
