Fuck.I bet there isn't even an option to not render the sound either.
This wouldn't happen if they did it in OpenGL!

-nosoundI think :)
or -noaudio
there's a bunch of startup options
I found that from changing from the onboard sound to a soundblaster with some russian drivers that half life went from crashing.. a lot.. predictably, and hanging, and just hanging and doing nothing
to working completely all the time
source is the only thing that fucks in this way on my machine
I suspect valve are probably using some naughty microsoft secrets for the audio that pushes less than perfect (in the area prodded) sound drivers/hardware over the edge and into fail.
of course, it's not valves fault and if you have a problem with their software you are to uninstall it and fuck off apparently.
