What's your soundcard? Perhaps EAX and DS3D support is causing the echo. Try disabling EAX and DS3D in the alpha centauri.ini file by setting those values to 0.

I get the same doubling problem with my Aptiva with Mwave card. I was using v1.0 right off the CDROM; my .ini file had no entries at all for eax or ds3d... the effect sounds something like "I don't know but I've been told/I've been told, we just got a network node/network node," for all the speech - *except* the movies, which are choppy but do not double.
I've installed the 3.0patch, which works fine so far - but still doubles the sounds originating from the hard disk.
Help? The game is playable - but the amazing amount of research and writing that went into the game are not so well-expressed as I'd like, if only in the dramatic impact. And the speakers deserve to be heard correctly after all their hard work!
