hummmm ... I think this going to point to the graphic card after all.....
What is the monitor refresh rate set at ? I use to have mine set at 85 Hz but got crashes .. had to lower it to 75 Hz and no more crashes ...... One thing you might try .... uninstall your catalyst control center and graphic drivers and reinstall them .... I found if I mess with my settings in the catalyst control too much alot of my programs like video editors will lock up .......... Note : I have a Radeon X-700 pro / 256 mb card and if I try to install updated catalyst and drivers my game crashed too... I use the drivers that came on my cd and all seems fine now for about 6 months ......
As for the sounds ... yea .. kinda limited there for in game tweaking ... One thing I learned is to open a grahic equalizer and play a mp3 and set the equalizer to how you like your sounds... seems to carry on into any game for me ..... there are also sound mods a few folks here have made like Joe's " Torpedo and Deckgun Speed of Sound Explosions delay " plus Diesel exterior sounds , ect. .... I personally have the music turned off but listen to my own mp3's on the really long boring patrols ..
