All recent SoundBlaster cards run at 48kHz.  They will lock to incoming
44.1 however, and sample rate convert it in hardware (a very good
quality conversion, too) to 48kHz.

S/PDIF is a tough beast for to tame for FCC reasons.  It's always a
tradeoff between having an extremely crisp signal and radiating too
much radio interference.  Add to the mix that PCs are not the most
electrically quiet devices, and you can get S/PDIF dropout, pops,
clicks, etc.

Try all the standard things: high-quality cables, moving cables around,
trying bad quality cables just for kicks (hey, you never know)...

PS. I have my SBLive connected to my Kenwood Dolby Digital amp and when
I turn on my GAS stove, it stops working.  Took a few times to figure
out that the spark ignition unit in the stove interferes with the
S/PDIF in the other room...
