Does anyone else have a problem where right when you start the game the audio immediately cuts out every few seconds? If so do you know how to fix it? Thank you!;)

Ya I just downloaded it today ,and I'm running Windows XP. I've tried the sound on everything else and it works ok but the sound just cuts out on worms.

Try lowering the audio hardware acceleration level.

In Control Panel, open Sounds and Audio Devices.
On the Volume tab, in the Speaker settings area, click the Advanced button.
In the Advanced Audio Properties dialog box, click the Performance tab, and then decrease the level of the Hardware acceleration slider control.

You should try updating your drivers before giving up.
What sound card do you have, by the way?

Have you tried checking AC97's or your motherboard manufacturer's web site to see if they have an updated driver available?

Your welcome and the other minor problem is the sound is muffled in the gameplay just a bit compared to when I sample the worms voices on the menu.
