I'm not sure about the FAQ, but I had similar problems with my old
SoundBlaster 5.1 card running with 2k and XP. The fix for me was in the
Sound options inside control panel. Esentially, I had to lower the harware
acceleration from it's full/max setting down a notch or two. I also had to
lower the sound volume in UT to about the halfway mark (through the UT gui).

Seemed to work well for me, and a couple friends with similar problems. I
only picked up a very slight hiss, due to the lower volume and that was with
very little sound...and using headphones.

Hope this helps:-)
