My HPS Waterloo sound often sticks on melee sounds.

The same is true for background music.

I understand others have this problem.

Is there a fix?

I used to have this problem on my old laptop. New sound drivers fixed it for a while. But I believe it really only went away when I moved from Win ME to W2K.

Short term solution is of course closing and re-opening the game.

Here's some potential fixes for the sound looping problem, after you have applied the latest update and are sure that doesn't fix the issue:

1) Update your sound card drivers.

2) Reduce the "Hardware Acceleration" setting for your sound card

3) Open Windows Media Player...then select Library/More Options. There, select the tab labeled Monitor Folders. WMP will search all files for media files for a couple of minutes, and eventually create links to all the sound files in the games.

4) If none of the other items solves the problem you can investigate your system resources. I've had it reported before that a sound card was sharing the resources on a guys system with his hard drive controller. He moved his sound card to a new PCI slot that didn't share any resources and his problems went away for good.
