A lot of static in my sound

[unmerged(4875)]

Hi all! Haven't played EUII since about December 2001, I see there's a been a few patches since then. Anyhow, I just bought a new system and installed EUII and then the 1.05 North American patch. When I try to play, the sound is HORRIBLE. Nothing but static really... terrible popping and scratching. At first I suspected maybe my hardware, but other games sound crystal clear and so do my MP3s.

I am using SoundBlaster Live! 5.1, anybody have this problem???

DLDante, I have the exact same problem with static, etc. (I am using the Creative Labs Audigy) you describe, although I must admit that I have finally just given up on getting decent sound out of EUII (ver. 1.05). I have the latest drivers for everything and have tried all the suggestions on the "running problems" page mentioned above. If you get something to work, please let me know!
