Ah, I see. Most on-board sound cards are too underpowered to handle Direct 3D sound, epecially echos and underwater sound effect.

Try this... turn off sound completely. Play the game. See if it is still choppy in echo heavy areas (dungeons and caves). If it doesn't, you probably need to get a new sound card.

I would suggest to go for some relatively "cheap" good sound cards like Creative SoundBlaster Live 5.1 if that is the case.
