That's exactly what I did. I knocked the acceleration all the way off, and his voice suddenly came back. I tested the sound in dxdiag, at various stages of acceleration. And it crapped out for some of the tests, until I turned the slider all the way to the left.
What a bummer. The sound really leapt out at you with acceleration on. I'll have to content myself with the tasty graphics. I'm running at 1024x768, default, but changing the image setting to "quality" and the anisotropic filtering to 8x really improves the quality of the image. And with the 3700 Clawhammer cpu, it counteracts the additional slowing down incurred with the image settings.
