[AVGWarhawk]

Sound of waves while submerged, never. I sometimes get the rain sound if it is raining and I hit Ctrl + N key to change the weather. Rain goes away but rain sound is there. Go to the option page in the game and reduce the 3D sound. See if that takes care of your issue. It did for me. Another thing, originally I loaded the game, patch 1.1 and then 1.2 right over it. The AA and explosion sounds were just awful. I decided to do a complete reinstall and the sounds are now back sounding great.

I to have just 1gig and a ATI X1300 card. I would not say it struggles to keep it going. I turn off all background junk before starting the game. I have tried loading the game, hitting Ctrl/Alt/Delete to bring up the task manager, I then shutdown explorer.exe. This freed up more resources. I gained about 5-10 FPS as a result. Once I finish playing I hit Ctrl/Alt/Delete to start explorer.exe in the task manager. Try that to free up some resources.
