Game freezes with continuous ringing sound!

[sccommish]

After solving video issues, I now have an issue with the game freezing with a continous ringing sound. It even happens sometimes when I'm in editing a player or lineup. I have to shut my pc down and restart.

On the EA support page, it indicates a possible conflict with the sound card. After making the recommended adjustments, like moving the slider in directx to basic, it still happens. I've upgraded the drivers. I'm frustrated and need some help, if possible.

I use a Soundblaster Audigy card.

Any help would be appreciated.

That happened once to be last week but I think it was the result of the computer being on too long.. all I did was restart and played the game later on in the day in the dynasty

Try pulling the sound card out....and then stick it in a different slot.....reinstall the drivers and try again.......some of the pci slots share IRQ......you want to get it in a slot

that does not share IRQ.......try the last slot....or next to last slot.

I tend to agree with cybernetic. This sounds like a heat issue. You need to use better ventilation (more fans) in your computer & I would recommend having the air conditioning on near it too.
