Extremely loud and sudden audio static:

I'm just starting to play and enjoy this game after owning it for a while and have been experiencing this intermittent issue that occurs randomly when basically using the interface. Clicking on buttons, scrolling through pages of the recognition manual, it always happens as soon as I click something..but it's entirely random when it occurs. I can still hear the sounds and music of the game but barely as the continuous burst of loud static overpowers everything and never goes away unless I restart the game.

I've reinstalled my SB Live audio drivers and don't have a single issue with audio in any other of the countless games I've played. I've experienced this problem both before and after patch 1.3. I've found a few posts about it on the official forums and this forum, but no solution has been posted to my knowledge. I've tweaked the in game audio settings, disabled dynamic and 3D positional sounds..nothing helps. It's driving me crazy as the game is no fun without audio at all. Can anyone help? Thanks!
