@Psybot25 Do you normally play the game with dual monitors. Does the sound work normally when you disconnect the Benq monitor? I would recommend off-loading and freeing up space on your system drive. Your present setup has a lot going on. I think part of and the sound driver problems are related to the internal speakers vs the hdmi and may clear up when you free up space on the hard drive. Another thing you may look at is increasing the virtual memory but don't do that until you make room on the drive.

Thanks for the feedback.I have the Benq monitor unplugged right now actually, and this problem pre-dates me getting the monitor anyway.
I'll check about freeing up some space, not a bad idea regardless of whether its causing the sound issue.
By virtual memory, do you mean RAM? (excuse the computer illiteracy)
