Hello everyone, and thank you for any help in advance.

I am currently playing Discword on DosBox, and find myself frequently having to use the pause functionality (by hitting the pause key). However, whenever I do this, a screeching sound containing the last few miliseconds of the audio buffer play non-stop. I'm not sure if this is specific to this game, or if it happens with all of them, but Is there a way to make it so that if I use pause, this doesn't happen? A way to flush the audio buffer, or to mute it while paused?

DosBox v. 0.74
