Default sound problem

Not sure if this has been brought up yet but I notice that at least once or twice in a patrol I get a really loud and annoying sound when something happens...it sounds like constant static and overrides all the other sounds in the game.

I have a SB live value, Athlon 1.4 Ghz, 1024 RAM, Radeon 9550 256.

I also downloaded the game from Direct2Drive if that makes any difference

Any help would be great

Thanks

Most likely an audio hardware acceleration issue.
start DXDIAG (start->Run) and switch off the "hardware acceleration for sound".

Throw your ancient SB Live away and get any minimally decent recent audio adapter. SB Live's are bug infested - especially in today's newer hardware/os configurations.
