Can someone tell me if this problem is offically recognised as a issue and will it be addressed in the coming patch.

I'm an experienced gamer,I have a year old Athlon (via chipset) system and trying to find out if this chipset and the soundblaster still have issues regarding compatability. I get the impression this was sorted out with the 4in1 drivers some time ago.

I experience very jerky gameplay (unplayable) until the sound card hardware accelaration is turned off, then plays smashing.

Is it still a chipset issue or is it the game, no one really knows?
