Everytime I play a game, the game freezes after about 30 minutes, and I just keep on hearing a loop of teh same sound effects. For example, when i play rtcw, it freezes after 20 minutes and I keep on hearing the last noise that I played over and over again. I am using an ak35gtr, and I have tried both the c-media onboard sound, as well as a sound blaster pci 16 card. Same problem. It seems when I take my hardware acceleration slider for sound, and move it to standard support, it seems to fix the problem. However even then , sometimes it freezes. However i can't seem to get the slider to stay there past one reboot...and i'm pretty sure it's a sound problem. Must be software related...ran the same vid card and sound card in a previous rig, and they worked fine. Don't know what's going on.
