I posted this in the other thread and it seems it worked for a few people. Someone suggested I should create a new thread with the solution so here it is:

My sound device in windows was set to output at 192khz 24bit. When I set this back to 44.1khz 16bit it fixed the problem!

So to check, in win7 go to Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound

Pick your sound device that is set as default, click Properties.
Go to the Advanced tab and make sure the 'Default Format' it is set to 44.1khz 16bit.

I actually was able to set mine to 96khz 24bit and it works aswell, just doesn't seem to like 192khz.

Good luck!

I believe the default values are 44.1Khz 16bit so I don't think that this is causing the problem. But nice find anyway.

Also, welcome to the forums! Have a http://images.uesp.net//c/c4/Fishystick.jpg.

My sound is set, by DEFAULT, to a higher value than 44.1Khz 16bit, so if I encounter a problem tomorrow, Ill be sure to remember this.

Yes thank you for finding this. Mine is already at 44.1 so hopefully when the game unlocks I will have no problem haha

It worked! I love you OP.

Somebody needs to sticky this post for others to see, this fixed has worked for me and many others so far despite being found out less than 15 minutes ago!
Thanks again for the fix, you've made a lot of people happy

I thought you need to unlock the game on steam to play it on pc?

Yeh, I agree. This was incredibly annoying before I figured it out.

Time is relative! it is alredy 11-11-11 some places in the world you know!
