I think you need to get hold of EA support

Tried it.

No success, they ask me to turn off vsync and anti aliasing and so on.
then they tell me to close all programs running in ther background and the list goes on.

They can't give me a solid solution. Maybe i should just wait untill the next patch

Given that its a sound loop I assume you have tried uninstalling old sound card drivers, rebooting and installing new sound/mobo(if onboard) drivers?
Another thing to try is a driver sweeper, there are some out there that make sure all your old drivers are completely removed as sometimes old dll's cause kak.

Hi Geth i disabled my onboard sound card, but will give the driver sweeper a try.
I am using a usb logitech sound card for now because i read somewhere that the realtek onboard sound cards cause trouble with bf3.
Will gie feedback once tried :)

Is it possible that the Logitech card is creating problems? Try disabling that as well.
Or, might be that there are still some realtek drivers active.
