Yep same here (with Audigy 2)

The actual fps is nice and smooth but when a Combine start shooting or similar it stutters like mad.

Still bloody fantastic so far though!!!

Try setting sound to 4 speakers, that should help in some cases

Im getting this problem too. The sound skips, and pops and loops which causes the video to lag.

I have an X800XTPE, 74gig Raptor, 1gig OCZ RAM and a 3400+ + Audigy 2.

No idea at this point..the game is really stuttery.

I have a similar problem, but it seems to be memory related, and its not to much of a problem for me.

Try rebooting, and removing a load of the crap thats running behind windows, to free up some RAM.

Tried using various audigy2 drivers - makes no difference. Reloading the current level seems to help a bit.

Sounds like the exact same issue as with Doom3.

The solution there was to first :

A) Check if your harddrive is running in PIO mode - this slows down everything and makes it choppy. If it is, change it to DMA mode in your settings.

try that. If still no good, then:

B) Switch off write cache on your harddrive, this should stop sounds looping/repeating/stuttering but is only a temporary fix.

g'luck
