I've had this problem for ever (NYGM, GWX, stock?). It drives me crazy. I'm not sure what triggers it - it seems to be tied to the loading of sounds. It happens especially often when I'm on the hydrophone trying to locate my attackers. I get that crashing awful sound for an indeterminate period. I don't know what stops it. I suspect it's also a sound loading - like a new sound or something. Anyway - if anyone figures this out, I would _much_ appreciate it. I suspect that the .ogg codec is to blame. I've had this bug in other games that use .ogg. I've tried installing a new codec but it made no difference.
