It would help if you post your computer specs, so others have more information to advise you.

So are you hearing the main menu music, or the start up movie?

I have an hp dv9000, and had a similar problem. It turns out it is likely a problem between the new Civ4 BtS movies (all of them -- wonder, intro, etc) and the nVidia graphics card. Here is how you fix the problem:

1) Edit Civilization4.ini in My Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword\
with your favorite text editor:
About 1/3 of the way, down, edit this line to say the following:
NoIntroMovie = 1

Now, you should be able to start Civ4... but it will crash if you build a wonder because it is trying to play the wonder movie.

2) In the Options, disable all in-game movies (Wonder, etc). There is an option for this in the profile setup. I also believe you can change this option once you start a game.

Hopefully this will fix the problem for you. I really hope Firaxis patches this, and the Poison/Foment bug on slower-paced game speeds. Otherwise, BtS is AWESOME!!!!!
