Sound Tweak
Users using surround sound headsets such as the Logitech G35 will experience a lot of static or crackling to the point of actual damaging to the hearing when using the base game. There is no definite fix for this however there is a way to change it in the files.

It is recommended that you backup the Audio.scr
file before doing this, though if you don't you can always just delete the file and the game will create a new one.
