I really would like to play this game. However this bug makes it unplayable for me.[:(]

[Meldric]

I have the same problem here. I have an X-FI Soundcard. Anybody ideas?

[Umbra]

This problem has been around since the games release. Try opening up your Dxdiag and leave it running in the background, while running Starshatter. This should help with the sound problems. You might still have a glitch here and there but its a vast improvement. Hopefully this will help, it worked for me.

Thanks for the help. Opeaing DXdiag works.
