I just completed a complete removal, reinstall and re-patch to 1.4b.
Reduced sound card acceleration to "none" Sound sampling rate to good instead of high. Doesn't seem to make a difference.
I noticed someting this time. As the red scrollbar loads teh game, the chirping , clicking sound starts at about the half way point intothe game loading sequence. I guess whatever part of the game is having issues with my rig is being loaded at that time. The sound continues as the game loads and persists throughout. I can only describe it as a chirping, static, clicking sound. It'svery irritating and makes the game unplayable for me.
If I can't sort this out, I'll have to bring it back to EB games and go back to racing cars or combat flight sims.
