Sound problem in BTS

[Krainios]

Bad sound on my new computer ( Vista home premium ) " cracking noises "
Civ4 is fine, problem is just with BTS, with or without v3.13 patch
I reinstalled but nothing changed
The same disk was OK on old computer with XP ...

Thanks for help ( and thanks about previous text problem, it was solved easily
with this forum advises )

You've experimented with the audio device preferences in the game? They're choices like mono, stereo, eax, etc.

I have tried them all ...
The problem is worst when the movies play but persists during gameplay ...

maybe the game tries to access a voice capturing device - so you might try this:
open users\<name>\My Games\Beyond the Sword\civilizationIV.ini and set this value to 0:

; Enable voice over IP capture and playback
EnableVoice = 1

if that does not help try to set this one to 0:

; Enable/disable background music
PlayMusic = 1

(this would of course not be a preferable solution).
