I am constantly hearing stops in the audio for the the game. Im not sure if it is just the music or the whole game audio. I have also got the Playstation Official Headset the same day as Skyrim, so could it be that? Any help would be much appreiciated.

I hear this really horrible screeching sound coming from a tree across the bridge in Riverwood.

Yes this was the very first thing I noticed when playing the game! I open a chest to grab potions and gold and it sounds like muffled dirt being stepped on and then sometimes it'll play the proper sounds. I've also noticed some very low res textures in the PS3 version as well.

Well for mine, the sound would completly stop for about a second. Then come back.

I am using the official ps3 headset as well, and my sound keeps dropping out as well. It's very annoying, especially since the whole reason I bought that headset was for skyrim. Hoping they patch it with this upcoming patch.
