I have not used that sound mod, but I did take some specific files from it and use them in my own custom sound mod... and then experienced CTD problems trying to load the game. When I examined the DBSM files I was using I found that they were MUCH larger than the files in stock/GWX that they were replacing. So I converted them to much smaller files of the same type and used the smaller files instead, and that solved the problem with (to my ear anyway) no difference in sound quality that would be noticed in-game.

I imagine that going through all the files in the mod and trying to convert any unusually large ones to smaller versions would be a PITA, but I didn't mind since I was only using a few of them. But it's something to think about, especially if using that mod is what's behind your CTDs and you really, really like a lot of the alternate sound files it gives you.
