Alrighty! Being the Bug magnet that I am, I have located two possible bugs, both of which have already been mentioned in this forum. However, I also believe that I have found the solution with the sound issue:

Why? You say? Easy, it isn't there. Why this is, I have no idea. I may try one I have for another program and see if it will read it anyway, but I thought I should point this out. I will also note that I have fiddled with the settings in game, this may have deleted the file instead of editing it. As yet, I do not know(I'll find out though).
Also, I too have been having the Inventory problem, except I am having it on the first mission. It is very aggravating, but I know that it is being worked on, so I shall be patient
Below are two anomolous areas in the log that may or may not pertain to the Inventory error. The first is somewaht early on, the second mid way:
