Hey Rhaw,

Sounds like eet might be on the right track there. Try disabling background texture loading in the user.settings file (in your application data folder) and see if that helps.

Textures = sound distortion? 

Hmm it’s a really random thing I started up today and didn’t get it. I can play for a long time and I don’t get it, but when I do get it the problem lasts for a few minutes.

I try the texture settings, but I won’t know if that has an affect right away.
thx

No I have integrated sound, but that device is shut off and I'm using a sound card. I was thinking maybe it was geared more hardware than software, but I'm not sure. The sound card is a Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer, but I will admit it is old lol. However, the sound is still better than with the newer integrated sound on the motherboard. This is the 1st sound related problem I have had in a very long time with any game.

Glitchy and staticy is the best I can explain the sound; however, it doesn’t happen enough to be a serious problem. I didn’t see anything mentioned on it, so I thought I would post about it.

I have had a problem with the sound doing that when I zoom in to watch a battle, started in beta2. My solution was to turn off hardware acceleration, when beta3 came out I was able to turn it back on but after the last patch I had to turn it off again.
