good specs!
ok, this is what u do!
do disk clean-up! reids the comp of all that crap
go to TEMP file under windows and delete everything there!

if that doesnt work, u will probably need to buy a new sound card.. shitty as it sounds.. u will be happy, also, put the hardware acceleration on!

I had the same problem with the SBLive. Just installing the updated drivers cleared the gameplay up completely for me and I'm on a p3 800Mhz Win2k machine. You might also try to adjust your in game settings to the lowest possible sound quality and deselect hardware accelerrated. The problem is definitely linked to the sounds.
