it seems a few of us are experiencing problems with mechwarrior 4s sound (newsgroups,bbs).
If anyone have solved the following error please post, it arrive shortly after starting the game.

Sblive,Geforce2Ultra,Windows2000,Athlon850,256mb ram

All latest drivers, everything tried - no dice. Only thing that cures the error is to disable the hardware.
