Wait I had this problem too. I had intergrated sound and the footsteps would slow me to a crawl. Rats would kill me...go figure. It was a slideshow.
Then I installed my SB live and it ran fine since it was an actual soundcard (not sure why your card is acting up still). That mod fixes it but removes the sounds of footsteps. If you want the sounds try lowering sound acceleration to basic and see if it changes. The sound itself may be disgusting though. So yeah, it is bloody annoying. Humanoids aren't affected it seems, only beasts etc.
