If I forget to switch off the line input to the stereo before shutting down XP, the speaker pop is so loud that you can feel it across the room. I occasionally feed the line output of the PC into my stereo to get the better sound and higher volumes. When 98 shuts down, the "pop" is much quieter, barely noticeable no matter how loud I have the volume set. When the volume is turned up, it's loud enough that I'm concerned for the speakers. It's much louder than any sound or music that was being played. When XP shuts down, it makes a very loud pop in the speakers. The sound card now works well on both operating systems except for one problem. I found some at driverguide that work well. Creative support had no drivers that worked with it. Getting it working on 98 was much harder. XP had no problem installing drivers for the card. I had a sound blaster PCI-128 with a 5507 chipset that I'd taken out of another PC. The built in sound output is too weak to drive speakers. I have a Dell Optiplex GX260 with XP pro and 98SE installed.
