I have an athlon 1.0Ghz (7.5x133), 256MB CAS2 Crucial memory, a Visiontek GeForce2 GTS, and an IMB 75GXP hard drive all running off of an EPoX 8KTA3 mobo. I had been using the onboard sound (AC'97)and everything was going fine except for a rare slowdown now and again.

I just installed a Hercules Gamesurround Fortissimo II sound card and now all of the sound effects and voices are v..e..r..y....s..l..o..w. I've updated to DX8.0a, and there are no updated drivers yet for the sound card. I've seen similar problems from searching this board, but no one has mentioned a solution. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

I have installed the latest patch, and then even went out and got ToB to see if that would fix it, but nothing.

Thanks for the advice.
