I don't seem to have any sound during the first cutscene after the tutorial

Interesting. There have been reports of the briefing audio not working after playing through a few missions, but this is the first time I've heard of the cutscene audio not working. It looks like the workaround for now in either case is to exit the game and open it again. Glad you got it fixed, though.

FWIW, I had that problem too the first time I proceeded to M1 after the tutorials. And the game froze when the cutscene without sound had finished.
I didn't mention it because I believed it related to the missing VA bug that I already knew about before starting to play Diaspora.

I also have to restart the game after every mission to avoid missing VA in the next briefing - I assume that's due to my rather old system hitting the memory ceiling quite quick:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ 2.91 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT
3 GB usable RAM (4 GB total)
Win XP SP3 32 bit

Good thing is I can successfully avoid in-mission CTDs by restarting every time.
