Sometimes too frequently, always with a bit of HD light activity and sometimes after some stutters. To recover the sound I ALT TAB to desktop, open some window (IE My Computer) then ALT TAB to AH (now I have a white AH window with sound), then ALT TAB to desktop (with some window open to get the focus) and then ALT TAB a second time to AH (graphics and sounds back). Really weird process. DX Sound accel is set to normal (second tick from the left).
