Haven't seen this problem...maybe your card can't handle too many sounds 
at once...may I suggest that you change the sound detail level (last item 
on the details group of bars) a little lower.

Nope, you CAN change the settings, keyboard mapping, etc. at ANY POINT in 
the game.  All you need to hit is F1 for the settings menu, and F2 for 
the controls, and you can adjust anything...brightness, detail, etc.   
Only problem I have is that if you do a custom detail setup, it will save 
the settings as if you chose the overall detail level of the lowest of 
the settings chosen.  Just means I have to adjust the detail levels every 
time I boot up the game....minimal nuisance...
