Dawn of War: Sound issues

I recently got dawn of war and i think its a great game, but I have massive sound problems when I select a lot of units. Normally when there is not much going on on screen its fine.
Does anyone have similar issues? Im using a soundblaster live player(think it was called the gamer in the US) 5.1

Any help with this problem would be appreciated.

The sound stutters, unit sounds slow down. Its like the computer isnt fast enough to handle the game or summik, but its only the sound that is effected, the game runs fine.
Ive put the number of channels down to low now and it the problem occurs much less often often now.

i checked on their forum site and here are some threads about some similar problems, maybe these will help.

try playing with different sound settings... I had similar problems with Vice City with a Live 5:1 digital (now using NForce2 onboard these days though)... depending on the sound setup in the game sounds would not even happen (eg cars with no car noises horn engine etc...) EAX1 EAX2 & so-forth

Trust me I know what I'm doing... ooops, grab the cat...
