I have major problems with the sound in this game. The fx and speech stutters terribly, the music sounds just fine.
I installed the latest drivers for soundcard, Realtek AC 97, and even reinstalled directx after that, but didn't help.
Even tried the "trick" from Eidos itself and edited the ini file of the game and set 3d sound = on. But then I got no sound.
Anyone has the solution ?

after what you've said about your sound chip ( realtek ac 97 ) its a motherboard incorporated. the game might have sound effects that pure and simply are impossible for your sound card to pull out. I have the same problem at super-encoded mp3's ( an dual stereo vbr melody is just singing in 2 of my 4 speakers ... weird )

run dxdiag/sound/ Directx features and change Hardware sound acceleration level to no acceleration

Thanx for the tip zsammy, but nos sigar. That doesn't help.
VyRuZRuLeZ, if my soundcard is the problem, should't I have more problems with other games ?

technically .. yeah. but on older games sound was'nt such a big problem. now they put 6 channel audio in them & so on so u must have high-end pcs to actually experience EVERYTHING the game offers. lame no ?? ;]

allright, found the problem/solution myself.
I have a small programm running called pcalert for keeping an eye on the cpu and system heat, etc.... When I close this program, no more soundproblems. Apparantly both programms want to use the same memory-range or something. And I thought this would't be a problem anymore with XP !
So if anyone else has a problem with sound with this game, try to close down the programms you have running either in startup or background.
Eidos does states in the readme-file to close down all other programms, even virusscanners ! Just close them doen one by one untill you find the one giving the problems.
