BackGround Sound Corruption

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hey there, great game! There are some minor gliches that others have already mentioned, but my main problem is the background track corrupting after 10-15 seconds. All other sounds-incidental, special effects and those associated with cut scene movies--are fine. The background track is great and its a shame my galaxy lacks it. I'm running a Shuttle sn45 nforce2 ultra 400 with ati 9800 pro and undated drivers for chipset/sound and video card. I've updated the game too. I plan on reinstalling if the next update fails to address the issue. Any other ideas?

This might be appropriate for the Glitches forum.  I have something similar, the sound cuts in and out.  Lately it stays on most of the time, but then it'll just fade away.  My system is completely different from yours, except my mobo also uses Nforce chipset.

Did you try turning down hardware acceleration for sound a notch or all the way? Several chipsets are extremely... crafty... when it comes to hardware sound.

I had it either full or off for the background music. I just turned it down to 40ish percent and I'm getting better results! It still craps out on the occasional reload, but is much better than before!
