The Scully/Mulder Glitch

[Pigboatcook]

I'm at a total loss with this one. It is probably system related but it is a genuine X-file glitch. Ok, here goes..(suggestions appreciated)

I'm in game and receive an incoming aircraft warning from the radar. Crash dive, do a quick 30 degree turn at 120 feet, stay at flank for a min or two while I get under 250 feet. Game time factor is always 1 when I do this. When I hit my usual hiding depth of 280-300 feet I put the boat at 1/3rd and take off the headphones, set them down, and go do whatever real life tasks me with (flush, grab a beer, make a sandwich, whatever). Max time gone is five minutes. I get back, pick up the headphones and I have dead silence. The game still operates, the sub moves, controls work, etc etc but no sound and then within 2 minutes I get a CTD. This loss of sound then CTD thing ONLY happens when I take off the headphones and get out of my chair.

Any suggestions or do I need to Google Scully&Mulder's phone number?
