    Look for patches to UT - Check sound options in game (test diff settings)

    One thing you might try - this has worked on other games in the past with similar issues:

    Open up dxdiag (Start, Run, dxdiag) and go to the sound tab. Try reducing the Hardware Acceleration a notch at a time until the crackling disappears.

    May or may not work but can't hurt to try...
