    I recently bought this game finally along with its Rome expansion. I have this issue with sound crackling. It happens when I get inside a vehicle, such as a tank or jeep. Moving the mouse around inside the vehicle produces crackling popping noises that are quite annoying. I haven't noticed it when walking around on foot. I tried lowering the sound in the game from high to med, but still didn't work. Lowering it to low would probably fix the problem, but I find it ridiculous to have to suffer horrible sounds just to have the game work. Tried lowering the sound in dxdiag to basic but the problem is still there. I have a turtle beach santa cruz with the 4161 version drivers so i am not having the creative labs nightmares. Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it? Any help is appreciated.

    Is the game fully updated? 1.4 patch I think it is.

    update your chipset drivers, if you've got a VIA chipset powered mainboard, www.viahardware.com, if you've got a NVidia chipset www.nvidia.com -> drivers, intel? www.intel.com (and look around, I don't actually go there :)).
    also be sure to update all your drivers, such as videocard and soundcard.

    Had same problems with a SB Live. With default XP or CD drivers, its not good enough. Crackling went right away for me once I did that. Apparently the game received awards and such for its sound, so you need to be up to snuff in the sound driver department. Perhaps you can tinker with a couple different versions of the drivers. Be sure to follow Fleppens tip as well with your motherboard chipset drivers, Intel, VIA, SiS, Nvidia, whatever.
