According to a number of members over at the official SEGA of America community forums, the audio in Condemned 2 may crackle or drop out altogether at various points in the game. One member contacted SEGA directly regarding the issue and received the following response:

Thank you for writing. SEGA is aware of these issues and is actively investigating them. As the game is brand-new we are obviously quite concerned to hear of problems, in particular the controller issues.

Although the issue is primarily affecting PlayStation 3 owners of the game, those who have the 360 version are experiencing the very same audio issue.

For now, SEGA is recommending to use a standard AV cable rather than an HDMI cable. This reportedly fixes any problems with the audio, but isn’t an ideal solution at all. Let’s hope SEGA can release a patch to rectify this issue in a timely manner.
