While Playing Sins of a Solar Empire I have noticed that the sounds drops and the game loses sound. I can see no console messages that relate to sound ( all opengl commands) and there is no real pattern to lose of sound or timing. I can play a game for 3-4 hours without losing sound, sometimes only 10 minutes and sometime its at the main menu. This can get really annoying as there is no way to regain sound other than closing the program and restarting it. If I lose sound every 10-15 minutes it can get annoying.
