Audio = Skipping

[TuSC]

I just bought S:TGS and installed the patch before playing. I've loaded the game under the 5.0 as well as the 5.0.1 .exe files and had the same problem. The music in the background as well as the audio in the initial training mission just skip. It will skip the same split-second section perhaps 7 times before advancing slightly to the next section which skips. All the graphics work fine.

System data:

AMD FX-53
4gb Corsair low latency DDR-400
ATI x850
ATI x1300
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro
Klipsch speakers, Jabra wireless headset and/or headphones

I've tried putting the CD in either of my drives, but that hasn't changed anything for me. One is a lightscribe DVD-R/W by BenQ less than a year old and the other is a Samsung DVD.

I'll see if there are some new drivers for the audio, but I just updated them two months ago.

Suggestions?

TuSC  Try running your dxdiag in the background while playing the game.  For some reason this fixes the problem.  I am still hoping this issue will be resolved in a future patch.
