I had to reinstall my sound drives because the game corrupted them. I got grabled and cracking noises even after i left the game. I using win98 and DX6.1 I have a TB Montugue A3D card. I installed V2.0 beta patch and thats when the problems started. I also had the mouse buttons quiet working on me and had to do a reboot of the computer to get it going again. Will The next patch fix these problems???

What happened is the game misdetected your sound card as supporting EAX and enabled it. Simply reinstall, apply the patch and make sure that EAX and DS3D are set to 0 in the alpha centauri.ini. The game itself didn't change your actual windows drivers whatsoever, though if either of those settings were enabled, sound support in SMAC would be disorted.
