Major slowdowns using sound

I've been having a problem with all the games that I play that use adlib sound. These particular games won't let me configure them in any other way for music. My problem is that when I start the game the music runs either really slow or really choppy. This in turn causes the entire game to slow down. When i'm not using adlib music feature though it runs perfectly fine.

My system specs are as follows:
1.2ghz Athlon on Asus A7V133
256mb pc133 SDRAM
Geforce4 TI 4400 128mb
SbLive! Value
Windows 2000 Professional.

Any help is welcome.
Thanx, Digimortal

Have you tried increasing/decreasing the AdLib sampling frequency?
Have you tried increasing sound buffers?
Have you tried decreasing DMA polling periods to 1/3 or 2/5?

All those can be accomplished easily through the VDMSound Launchpad. (I'm too lazy to post the link here, but it's in http://vdmsound.sourceforge.net/files.) Try it and let us know.

Yes, it’s my fault.
