Game Freezes When Many on Vox in SEA Arenas

[cactuskooler]

So I've had this problem for a while now but usually could work around it. When I'm playing in the SEA arenas the game will freeze up when people are talking on vox. At first the the game will "hiccup" at the end of each voice transmission. Eventually it sounds like the voice transmissions get overloaded and become garbled, shortly followed a totally lock up. This has never happened in any other arenas so I'm a little confused.

I caught it on film this time. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?o2zejzjnznn

In the video you can see the ships momentarily freezing after each vox transmission then hear the garble sound shortly before the game froze and I had to reboot.

I didn't see any similar problems when I searched the forums. Any help would be appreciated.

We'll need to see a DxDiag output (Just the first 1/3rd). This is most likely due to a sound-pack or bad sound drivers.
