Tell me...is there truly an "audible" difference between "High" and "Ultra-High" in this game?

Yes and no. If you have a higher-end enough system like many of the P4's above 3GHz or 3000+ A64 with a 16 pipe video card (video card is just as important) it will matter less but the hit can be seen. Just the Frame rates drop from having a lot of Action, the hit for the extra sounds happens as well. Yes, use those features but only set the game's sound to High, not Ultra.
To the sound system, this is like using AF and AA on a video card, you'll need more on-board RAM. Once you get the full affect of the effects the sound card can produce, the other cards don't sound right anymore. That includes my Audigy 2 ZS sitting in my other rig accross the room playing through the same sound system.
Please note, newer drivers and etc. can change the results some are getting.

b) More sound effects. With Ultra High set, I can hear more sounds, and the audio positioning on screen seems proportional to where you'd expect the sound aka gunfire, screams to come from.
J-Mag said:Agreed.
I definately hear more sounds in the Ultra-High mode. They are usually background noises, like birds chirping, or other environmental noises.

Jodiuh said:Dude, you're missing out [H]ard. There's Blue Birds on maps like Strike at Karkland that sing sweet lullabyes to you as your head smacks the pavement from the friendly neighborhood sniper...
Hear and see. There are definately birds that you can spook up in this game, namely on the Mashtuur(sp?) map.Jodiuh said:Hmmmm....good question. I'm not sure. Ya know maybe it's another game, but I remember making a noise and hearing a bunch of bird's flock up...giving away your position.
P3N1X0R said:hah, crazy, i didnt know that at all, obviously you cant SEE them, just hear them right?
