Out of interest, those that have the sound loop crash, what sound card do you have?
Me, i've got a Creative XFI Titanium HD and have not had it happen to me.
E: Good game with Nexus and co just now.
No sound card.
Happens with both my plantronic 780 headset (USB connection) and speaker setup (connected to MB)

Haven't bothered installing the realtek drivers for my onboard audio as when I did last time, audio kept cutting out every now and then.
The audio for this game in general is terrible for me, repeating sounds, missing audio, crackly sound to it etc. It is the next biggest game killer for me (other two main things being netcode and stability)
Although since putting everything to low/of, I don't have that sound loop crash anywhere as much.
Honestly it still puzzles me how on earth the alpha and beta ran much better than this "final" version
And indeed, good games there!
Been along time since I have played paracel conquest as mostly infantry, usually always in the boat

Such an awesome map that.
Last game was terrible there, operation cluster
**** with 64 players, my team just ended up getting pushed to spawn again

Never again am I playing that map with 64 players!
Annoys me how DICE didn't keep a similar design as the SP level.......
