Distorted Sound Effects

I have a anoying problem.

 

After a while, the sound effects get all distorted. It appers to on a pr game level. So once it happends a new game will work fine, but the savegame will have distored sound.

 

Here's the debug:

Are there any newer drivers available for your sound card? The ones you have now are from late 2007.
