First, my system:
G4/450 ... 256mb RAM ... ATI Rage Pro 16mb graphics card ... Mac OS 9.0.4 ... using Harman/Kardon SoundSticks speaker system
UT specifics: versions 400, 425, and 436 have all had this problem. My skin is the Iron Man MaleSoldier skin found at utskins.com and I'm using the RedGuy voice found at planetunreal.com/utterance.
ok now the problem: gameplay is fine, but the audio is screwed up... half the sounds that should be playing aren't playing at all, voices get cut off in mid-sentence, and worst of all, there is a weird ECHO. Voices and sounds will echo at different volumes AND at different wavelengths (sped up and slowed down)... I have never heard of this problem before and I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the SoundSticks, since they run on USB audio.

I think i know your problem i am not sure. Maybe your voices are screwing it up the 3rd party ones. I tried some before and had same problem threw them away and WALA it worked.

The "echo" problem is a known bug with UT mac. There are a few things that may help:
1. Use the latest version of Apple Sound Manager. This is recommended by Mac Soft, but I haven't found it to do a bit of good.
2. Open the UnrealTournament.ini file and check the following settings:
AudioDevice=Galaxy.GalaxyAudioSubsystem
Under the Galaxy audio subsystem settings, be sure that Effects Channels is set to 16. At 32, there seem to be more echoes.
Some maps are worse than others, but for now no update fixes this problem. Macsoft claims that they can't reproduce the problem reliably enough for troubleshooting.

I removed the RedGuy voicepack and the sound is much better now... no more echoing! But I LOVE the RedGuy voice! 
I updated to 436... sound is still ok... maybe I'll create my own RedGuy voicepack.
btw, a couple people emailed me and said "who is this RedGuy?" ... it's a collection of sound clips from the Red Guy on Cow & Chicken. Kickass toon. 
What's so different between 3rd party voicepacks and official UT voicepacks?

btw... the AudioDevice=Galaxy.GalaxyAudioSubsystem was correct, and the Effects Channels was already set at 16.
I guess it was just a problem with the voicepack!
...would still like to find out WHY though...
