Every once and a while while playing, the game sound/music will start to skip/stutter. I am uncertain if it is due to lag, or if the game and my PC are having issues, has anyone else had this happen, and if so, any suggestions on a fix for it? Sound drivers are as updated as they can be so uncertain really what else to try.

I have the same problem with SB X-FI. So it must be the game.. Dont have that problem in other games.
I have the same problem and its only started this week. I dont know if its related but it seems that the game doesnt like to play to many sound effects at once. I was doing ground quest with 5 engineers with 5 phaser turrets and 10 drones along with the giant mobs and I think I only heard like 1 phaser shot per mob if that.

Yeah I'm getting the same and it feels the same, so much in fact that I went into the options thinking I'd set the "simultaneous sounds" to a small amount or something, but there is no such option.

I've got the same problem, and you're right, it wasn't there to begin with. I can only assume one of the more recent patches changed something that broke the sound during ground missions.
I had two issues at once:
1- the gun sounds don't always play
2- certain sounds cut off halfway through being played making it sound like the audio is stuttering. So if a sound effect normally takes 2 seconds to play it will cut off abruptly after the first second.
I've updated my sound drivers to the latest version earlier today and so far I've not encountered issue 2 again (although it may be too early to say for sure yet), but I definitely still have problem no. 1. I've already submitted a bug report. Can't do much except wait for now.
Yeah, I just came back to the game after a break and I started to notice cracking / pops in sound. Mine is a first gen X-Fi card. I hope Cryptic has something for use to help.

Yeah I should have the latest drivers for my x-fi card. The last package I installed was SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_18_0013.exe and that still looks like the latest they offer. Just like other folks who have had sound issues, all my other games and mp3s sound normal. I can watch videos and youtube clips fine. Its just STO that has issues.
Every once and a while while playing, the game sound/music will start to skip/stutter. I am uncertain if it is due to lag, or if the game and my PC are having issues, has anyone else had this happen, and if so, any suggestions on a fix for it?

It's funny that I just scanned across this while flipping thru the forums but, oddly enough, these two issues are fairly common for the X-Fi PCI sound cards. Had it happen A LOT when I played Battlefield 2 and 2142 before I got fed up with it and went back to onboard audio. However, I had someone shed some light on these issues to me and made some suggestions that I hope will help both of you:
These two links should help get the both of you started on some things to try to resolve this. Normally I'd give a one-shot solution on this but there are many different solutions for this rather common issue.
Having similar issues with the sound cutting in and out only in STO so far. Testing local audio files and streaming audio, only cuttes in and out in STO.
I am using an onboard sound solution and i am getting stuttering/missing sounds after a couple hours of playing, relogging usually fixes this. Feels like a memory problem, sometimes i can hear a targ roaring that i already killed 30 seconds ago. Same as some graphics animations, they seem to be waiting in line and are played delayed when the system is ready to play the animation.
A few weeks ago I bought STO and thanks to some help from milehigh and Tech Support I was finally able to get logged in! The only thing is... there is still no sound. I double-checked to see if I have the most recent sound driver for my speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio) and I have the most current driver ( 6.00.0001.5789 ).
Any ideas or suggestions? I don't think I can convince myself that all my Starfleet officers are deaf. If Giodi can wear a silly visor I should be able to wear some Treknobabble earphones on my head.

In some systems IRQ Sharing and sorts of is not just working as fine as one would think with newer Operating Systems after Win XP. It seems this is because in some cases the hardware might be unable to manage it more efficient, which shows it's impact at gaming or other "heavy load". Basically that means if you're using a system with many on-board components, these all might share a lot of internal recources (onboard sound, network, additional raid controllers or firewire stuff) which under load can cause the so called stuttering/ skipping pauses in video and/ or audio (like if say ur lan, raid controller and soundcard all are onboard in use at the same time and unfortunately happen to share resources).
For one if I would use the onboard-Lan on my Gigabyte P35-DS3R I will get the above mentioned stuttering/ pauses, if I put in a cheap but dedicated networkcard into one PCI slot problem is gone. It seems in my case the onboard lan component interfere with the recource sharing even tho the OS reports everything is fine.
I would recommend to disable as many onboard-components you can, not a problem if they are unused (many ppl tend to leave stuff activated they won't ever use or need) and if they are used replace them with dedicated components.

More than likely you already have the "latest" Windows 7 drivers for that card.
http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowArticle.aspx?url=http://203.211.142.197:80/srvs/cgi-bin/webcgi.exe/,/?st=479,e=0000000000012463628,k=6276,sxi=7,varset=ws:,case=61105
Yeah I should have the latest drivers for my x-fi card. The last package I installed was SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_18_0013.exe and that still looks like the latest they offer. Just like other folks who have had sound issues, all my other games and mp3s sound normal. I can watch videos and youtube clips fine. Its just STO that has issues.
It's funny that I just scanned across this while flipping thru the forums but, oddly enough, these two issues are fairly common for the X-Fi PCI sound cards. Had it happen A LOT when I played Battlefield 2 and 2142 before I got fed up with it and went back to onboard audio. However, I had someone shed some light on these issues to me and made some suggestions that I hope will help both of you:
http://xfi.blogspot.com/2006/06/soundblaster-x-fi-crackling-and.html
http://www.overclock.net/sound-cards-computer-audio/628198-sb-x-fi-cracking-static-music.html
These two links should help get the both of you started on some things to try to resolve this. Normally I'd give a one-shot solution on this but there are many different solutions for this rather common issue.

Any ideas or suggestions? I don't think I can convince myself that all my Starfleet officers are deaf. If Giodi can wear a silly visor I should be able to wear some Treknobabble earphones on my head.

For one if I would use the onboard-Lan on my Gigabyte P35-DS3R I will get the above mentioned stuttering/ pauses, if I put in a cheap but dedicated networkcard into one PCI slot problem is gone. It seems in my case the onboard lan component interfere with the recource sharing even tho the OS reports everything is fine.
I would recommend to disable as many onboard-components you can, not a problem if they are unused (many ppl tend to leave stuff activated they won't ever use or need) and if they are used replace them with dedicated components.
