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:-) -AH
