Even if your sound card doesn't meet the requirements, it doesn't matter really, becasue if you hear sound when you play Halo, then Sapien should work too.
Does Halo run normal, without being forced into safe mode?
If not, go to Start, Run, type: dxdiag
Press Enter. In the display tab, Enable hardware acceleration.
If so, then Sapien will run too. You have a material issue. One of your materials is either named wrong or something, or referencing a shader that has innapropriate format settings.
An example of this: A shader referencing a bitmap stating it's to be compressed with explicit alpha, 32-bit color, etc. However, the bitmap file hasn't been compiled with these new settings, and has a different format. Re-compile your bitmap files, then sapien should open without a problem.
A quick way to compile all your bitmaps - Here's the syntax:
tool bitmaps levels\test\mapname\bitmaps\
