Problems with (Bink?) movie sound.

[Vanguard3000]

I recently borrowed a copy of Splinter Cell (An excellent game, by the way), but I'm having trouble with the movies at the beginning of each level. I believe these movies to be in Bink (*.bik) format, like E:BfD and, I suspect, Morrowind, since I've been having problems with it's movies as well.

When they are running, the video seems to fun just peachy, but the sound only comes in "chunks" - you'll hear stuff, followed by a pause, then more stuff, then a pause, then more...

if anyone has a possible diagnosis or solution, I'd love to hear it. Thanks in advance.

AMD Athlon XP 1800+

nVidia GeForce 4

SB Live

And yes, my drivers are up to date, and the game is patched.

Have you tried putting all graphical and sound settings to low ingame ?

Could you attach your dxdiag ?

You could try to change the DMA settings of your CDrom drive and cash reading .. . . it is crazy enough that it might even work .. ???
