Everything was fine until the update, and then after the update my sound glitches off for about 2 seconds, then on for a few, then off, exc. It also momentarily freezes the screen. Other games work fine, as well as videos, exc, so that leads me to believe it's not my hardware. Is this something I can fix? The game is pretty much unplayable with the combination of the two.

I have checked for bad files, I did a complete re-install of the game, all my drivers are up to date, everything looks good. I don't know what the problem is... Any help?
