The issue i have is when playing a match with helicopters or tanks (anything
caperable or large sums of powerful exsplosions) my audio will all Slow
right down but everything else will continue like normal. ITS DRIVING ME
INSANE! it tends to happne after a vechile im in gets hit or several
exsplosions go off nearby, such as AA fire agaist the ground.

After running it with slow audio for a while Windows often crashes
completely just restarting the computer instantly and informing me i had a
serious error when it reboots. When this dousnt happen the effects live on
after the game has been closed with all audio slowed down.

512MB RAM
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.40ghz
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200

Win XP home edition

Im not sure how to find my sound card but what i can find is "C-media Wave
device"

If you could help me with the problem i would be very very thankful, its
ruining my large scale gaming.. and many campain levels.

SOunds like you might have an on board sound chip that isnt up to the
pressures of gaming. Have a look at getting a good card like the Creative
Audigy 2. Theyre available quite cheaply now. Get one, get it installed
and you should see a huge improvement in sound.

FYI, I did some searching tonight for a new sound card. See my other
thread.

I found the Audigy 2 zs at ZipZoomFly.com for $66 after rebate. They
provide free 2nd Day air too.

I can't find a better deal than that anywhere--the Audigy 2 zs runs about
$99 most places.

Post some more details like motherboard, sound card (or onboard) and what
version of Flashpoint you are running. I seem to recall this is quite a well
known problem but I couldn't say what it is off the top of my head so
knowing some more details should help.

Only thing to suggest without some more info is to make sure your OFP is as
up to date as possible and your sound drivers too.
