Yeah, by me the sound was also crap, and i seems almost as
the sound slows down the game, when it stutters..

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.

I am running on a p-90 with a sound blaster 16 and my sound is perfect.
Are you using a joystick or keyboard?

Try it in VGA mode and see if it crackles then, I noticed in SVGA on my 
system it pops and wheezes etc, but in VGA it's better.

Hmm....my copy of MW2 doesn't crackle at all.  I actually think the
sound FX is very good.  I have a P-120 and a Soundblaster 16 MCD.  How
close is your soundcard to your video card?  I have heard that if they
are too close, you can get interference from the video card.

Hope this helps.
