There's a patch for it out already, check here
I doubt very much that it's your soundcard causing the issues. It's most likely your video card. Battlefield 2 has a very short list of supported video cards...

Since you live in Snellville, you can just come up to Siege LAN and play it here. Let me know you're from IA and I'll give you a free hour...
