Whenever i have mumble loaded up then i load pr, i hear this sort of i guess you could say "ticking sounds" I hear it on the main menu music and even when i load maps. is this normal when running mumble because i don't hear it when running pr w/o it.

Hmm .... this is a bug with your soundcard ... but I dont know why it would be happening. I used to get the same thing with some games when I had an Audigy. Its like a regular ticking sound and sometimes a crackling like someone is rustling a bag of potato chips ?

Don't know the answer I am afraid ... mine went away when I got a new soundcard.

why does this happen only when mumble is running?

Dunno. Some setting probably.

increase buffer size in mumble? did you try that? (i think it's called buffer size in there)

I had same problem, was a buffering problem. Go to audio output options and increase output delay (the buffer) until it stops.

K I'll see what happens

nope didn't work.

Edit: Downloaded new drivers and also ran dxdiag. tested my sound and all tests were fine but came up with this message - "Your sound card does not support hardware buffering. Sound will only play from software buffers" Not sure if this helps at but just posted it just in case.
