Choppy Sound

I just got back into Guild Wars, and after installing it on my new computer, started to experience some sound issues. I've been away from the game for almost a year, so I'm not sure if the sound updates I keep hearing about are the cause or not. Whenever I run the game, the background music is extremely choppy. If I dont move my character, the music is perfect, but as soon as I move or talk to somebody about a quest, the background music gets all choppy and distorted. I have a Creative SB X-Fi sound card, so I don't think that is the issue. Any ideas?

hum... same here... are you running Vista? I am. On my brother's Dell Laptop it's fine and on my Desktop it cuts out after a min or so of the game running.

i'm going to say it's the GW update because this has happened before and after a new patch it correct's Guild Wars sound.

yup... I don't have a computer with XP to test it on for a cross reference, but I didn't have this problem on my last desktop that had XP... but then again that was before this sound update.
