I am really enjoying Deus Ex, except for all the bugs I'm encountering. Check out the list:

Sometimes when I start the game, the audio is filled with static. Not all the time, just sometimes, and when it does it it will do it two or three times in a row, I just have to keep exiting and restarting until it finally does it the way it's supposed to.

Ladder fizziks. Every game that has ladders has a problem with ladders. Up isn't much of a problem, down...yeah. Get ready for the sudden stop.

Water: you can get in, but you can't get out. Your character wants to do push ups on the side of whatever things you';re trying to use to climb out of the water. Dunk, splash, gasp, splash, hey guards, here I am! Of course, who wouldn't want to do that instead of just getting out of the water?

Ye Olde Crawl: Sometimes, again not all the time, when I crouch, my character decides to keep his awesome crouching movement speed AFTER standing back up. Nothing makes this go away except reloading.

At least one, more often two or three, of these problems manifests every time I play the game. Every. Single. Time. Any ideas on how to end this crap so I can enjoy the game as the makers surely intended?

Oh, Windows 7 64 bit, if that helps.

Thanks!

The first one I might have a fix for. I had a similar issue. More detail can be found about two-thirds of the way down the page:
http://kentie.net/article/dxguide/page2.htm

The part that worked for me was this:

"Open up the file deusex.ini (it's in the game's system directory) and go to the [Galaxy.GalaxyAudioSubsystem] section. Set UseDirectSound to false. "

I don't use the Kentie's Launcher to do any tweaking but there is some good advice on the page.

I got a good laugh out of your description of the other problems, especially the water:)
But yeah, the ladders and the water take some patience. I never experienced the the crawling speed problem.
Good luck.
Ladder problem: Stay close to the ladder or you'll fall off. Use the direction keys to push yourself onto the ladder.
When I want to go down a ladder I find usefull to face the ladder and look down. That way when you press forward you climb down the ladder and at the same time you push youself to the ladder.

Water: When you want to get out of the water, look for a low ledge that you can climb out. Or a ladder. Don't try to climb out at the taller end. The game considers that getting in or out of the water is always noisy so plan accordingly. Don't get out of the water with a guard nearby. With a little practice you shouldn't have a problem. I also remember you don't use things to get out of the water.
edit: upgrading your skills in swiming will help you with this problem.

Crawling problem: Try pressing [Caps lock] It toggles between walking and running. You could also hold down [Shift] to toggle between walking and running. Check also if you have assigned crouching and walk/run to the same button.

Can't help you with the audio problem. Sounds like a drivers problem maybe. You could try to update your drivers....
