Delayed sound in the game renders it unplayable.

[Knux897]

I just got Skyrim, and it seems to be having a terrible problem with sound. When you start off in the cart with the other prisoners, sometimes the game will lag and an audio file will play while it's frozen and then the character will move their mouth with no dialogue once the game resumes. However I cannot actually play the game because the delay in sound doesn't let any of the character creation menus come up (or I assume since the guy said something about "What town are you from?") and the carts just get to the town and sit there. Graphically, everything works or seems to work fine and I'm assuming this is a sound problem because I had the same exact problem with New Vegas once it came out. It lagged like crazy and once I fixed the delayed sound bug it worked like a champ. I forgot what I had done but I used something called the "Silent Hill Homecoming Patch" which for whatever reason or another fixed the game. However I don't know where to find it or how to apply it to Skyrim. I'm playing on a Realtek HD Audio Output with full acceleration if that helps at all. Edited November 16, 2011 by Knux897
