Audio Problems

IMPORTANT NOTE: You may encounter choppy gameplay if your sound card is not 100% DirectX 7.0a compatible. 8 bit sound cards are not supported with this game (e.g. Sound Blaster and Sound Blaster PRO compatible). Also, the following sound cards may not fully support DirectX:

  • Yamaha OPL3 series
  • AD (Analog Devices)
  • Sound 2
  • Ensoniq (Gateway 2000)
  • IBM's MWAVE
  • Compaq's ESS

You may want to contact your sound card manufacturer to see if your card is 100% DirectX 7.0a compatible.

Most sound card problems are remedied by obtaining newer sound card drivers (usually maintained for free download on the hardware manufacturers web site). This is highly recommended and easy to do. You can contact your sound card manufacturer for details.
