If so, you may have had corruption in your downloading of the patch - it happens - so try re-downloading it from the shrapnel page and reapplying it as your first step post the disc scan.

I had a similar problem with Vista a while back. Had to do with a Microsoft/Creative Labs feud going on at the time.
Sometimes when multiple sounds tried to play simultaneously the sound driver couldn't deal with it and I'd get the exact symptoms mentioned above.
Eventually they resolved their issues and an updated sound driver fixed the problem.
