Try turning all the sound off in the game. If that helps we'll discuss the next step. Also, read the "Game crashes and flashing screens thread, you might find some info there that may help you.

When you try this make sure you start the game fresh from a re-boot so we know nothing else is running that could be interfering

Remember to switch both sounds off in the preferences menu as well as the mouse click in the game options programme's misc tab.

Cheers

Then you may have a Codec that does not like MP3 format sound files. See the \game data\sounds\wav folder. Read the Sound_problems.txt file, and follow the instructions there to covert from MP� to WAV format.

(Converting to WAV format is easier than trying to track down any rogue sound codec you have installed.)
