Do you have the problem?
I said, "I bet all the people who have the problem...."
I used to have a Packard Bell 200MMX when this game came out, with a self-installed, Voodoo 2 card and a SBlive value card. And I had no problems, if that's the point you were trying to make. I wasn't jesting/betting, that all pre-builts had the problem.
I'm guessing it's related to an intergrated motherboard thing. Most people who make gaming PC's, don't use onboard sound, or video.
