Keep Sound Looping and Crashing - Help!

Turn off Anisotropic Filtering, turn off Bloom, turn off Water Effects, turn off Depth of Field. All will cause problems.
The best recommendation I can give is to thoroughly read and follow the settings in the first post in BillZBubba's ATI Issues and Settings Recommendations thread stickied above.
Also, search for an updated audio driver, yours is a bit out of date.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

No matter what you do, the sound loop will remain, its something in the game that causes it and it will crash your client.
I just spent 400 on a new sound card, almost 350 for more ram, I run minimal settings for faster performance and no matter what, I still get the sound loop and crash.
If I turn off the sound within the game,I never crash.

BS. You CAN adjust settings and such and not run into this.
I know, I ran into it with my new computer just a few weeks ago. I was getting continually caught in a sound loop that would lock me up and crash the game.
I'm not sure WHICH of several steps I took resolved it, as I was shotgunning based off of several threads here in this section of the forums. That's not my normal behavior in the least when it comes to fixing problems, I just wanted to get into the game and enjoy my new toy as soon as possible.
But yes, it CAN be resolved. Others have done so as well.
EDIT: One other thing you may want to try is to run the game in Windowed mode. One of the many steps I took during my shotgun method to fix my problems.

Thanks, this is what I needed!
Much appreciated.
Not sure why it keeps doing this, please help.
Most often happens when I zone, but occasionally just randomly in game. I could be walking, fighting, or merely just turning the camera.
Advice?
