Not a stupid question at all.

What can happen at times is that some of the longer sound files (ex. crash-dive, creaking) gets caught in a loop and won't stop. The only way to stop it is to save the game, exit all the way out and restart.

If that happens to you only on very rare occassions you'll just have to grit your teeth and bear with it. If it starts becoming a regular occurence what you can do is manually edit the sound file to something shorter in length. Some pc systems don't like handling sound files longer than 15 - 20 seconds in length, and the crash dive sound file is longer than that.

If you decide you want to edit the sound file and make it shorter get back to me and I'll try and walk you through how to do that.
