OK, the problem is to do with the game. It must be something to do with the soundcard not being powerful enough for the game My sound is fine now, all my media player is playing all right and when i put the game on it will be ok for about 5-10mins then it will go all funny, then the sound will be all funny on my media player etc until i retsart the computer Is my Hypothesis correct??? Time for a better soundcard???
