Lockup with RTCW (Wolfenstien)

Game will crash (locks up my system with repeated sound loops) when I first start to play the game from the beginning. Starts at the house with the flags, then moves to inside the house and starts to zoom down into a room where there is a ceiling fan and a man at a desk. About 1 or 2 seconds into the room sequence the game freezes with a stuck sound loop.

I have read all the suggestions and implement them all to see if it would resolve the problem, but not such luck. This is the ONLY game I have a problem with and even the Demo of Return to Castle Wolfenstein works correctly. However the full purchased products does NOT work.

I have Two computers with the exact same problem:

Computer One:
OS: Windows ME (latest patches applied)
Sound Card: Creative Labs Audilogy X-Gamer (latest drivers)
Video Card: VisionTek (GeForce3) with Detonator v23.11 drivers
Hard Disk: IBM 7,200 UDMA66 45GB
Memory: Crucial PC2100 512MB (2 X 256)
Motherboard: ASUS A7A266 BIOS 1009, PCB Rev 1.03
CPU: AMD T-Bird 1.33Ghz

Computer Two:
OS: Windows XP (latest patches applied)
Sound Card: Creative Labs Audilogy X-Gamer (latest drivers)
Video Card: VisionTek (GeForce3) with Detonator XP v23.11 drivers
Hard Disk: IBM 7,200 UDMA66 45GB
Memory: Crucial PC2100 512MB (2 X 256)
Motherboard: ASUS A7A266 BIOS 1009, PCB Rev 1.03
CPU: AMD XP 1900+

I've seen others with the exact same problem also.

I have not had a lick of trouble. I have amd 900, sblaster live!

Life is too short, don't mess it up!!

I also had this problem, but I managed to solve it after awhile (long story).
Well, have you checked <A HREF="http://www.ViaArena.Com" target="_new">http://www.ViaArena.Com</A>?

Try these:
4in1 4.37v(a)
AGP410 driver (this one solved my problem)
Also, as it states in the text, don´t install the VIA sounddrivers if your´e using a third party soundcard.

Good luck!
