I recently rebuilt my Windows XP machine with some new parts and decided to install all my old time favorite games. Of course Commandos 2-3 could not be left out (the first is installed on my Windows 98 machine). The game pretty much runs perfectly EXCEPT for a very annoying problem: music and dialog seems to pause after a few seconds - it starts playing, then pauses for a second or two, then continues. It's incredibly annoying, especially at mission starts when there's a lot of talking. It does this with every sentence spoken.

Here's my system:

i5 2500k (limited to a single core to avoid compatibility issues)
4GB DDR
ASUS Xonar D2X (great little card)
GTX 750 Ti
Windows XP SP3

The odd thing is that it does this in both games and out of 50+ games tested so far, it's the only two games with sound issues. Does anyone have any idea?
