The sound in MW2 is pretty good on my machine...nice and clean with little
popping and stuttering (this is on a 486 DX2/80 with an SB16), UNLESS I 
do something like calibrate the joystick (or bring up the game menu) while
the sound is playing; then it starts popping and stuttering...but I can 
usually make it fix itself by bringing up the game menu are few more time.
