Sound issue?

I have had a strange issue I’ve never had in any game over the course of a month of so while playing.

It usually, if not always involves a dragon fight, doesnt matter which. I’ll be playing along fine, fighting, when all of a sudden the sound stops and all I get is a humming. It’s hard to explain but its sort of like ooooooOOOOOOoooooOOOOOOOoooooOOOOO… Like a weird alarm or siren. Honestly never heard anything like it…

Either way I have to restart the game to get sound back. No idea what it could be.

I’m running a Creative SB Xi-Fi if that helps.

There was nothing in my Windows 7 Event log to explain the sudden change either.
