    Have you installed the latest patch? They just released a v1.4 patch, although I've been running on v1.3 for a while and haven't had this problem.

    I get the same thing. You must have a Realtek sound chip and Vista (same problem with Bioshock). I tried updating the drivers and the problem continued so I uninstalled the drivers and let Windows install its own drivers (the ones from june 2006) and it seemed to solve the problem. I only ran it for a while and went back to the Realtek drivers because you lose the sound control panel and the volume hot keys don't work with the windows drivers so you lose either way.

    Your video driver is failing. Mine does it to as well.

    Happens mostly with COD4, but experienced it on other games as well.

    Likely a Vista or a NVIDIA issue.
