To clarify, I didn't have any of these troubles with U7 and versions 0.71 and lower - as best as I can tell, my settings are the same as they've ever been.
The Guardian's intro speech skips and hitches in U7, at nearly any cycle speed and with any cpu core and sound card IRQ setting. The rest of the game's audio (using an external MT-32) is fine.
With 0.72, oddly, the speech will skip much less with the cycles set extremely low, <300, but at that point, the game is unplayable. Typically, I play the game with core=auto and cycles=7700 with my Intel E6600 (not overclocked).
I've tried IRQs 5 and 7 (via the .conf and the game's installer) to no avail. These have all been set-and-forget in the past - I've never had any trouble up to this version.
Oddly, Serpent Isle is fine. All other SB games (that I've tried) are fine.
All SB types seem to exhibit the same behavior. GUS, Disney and Tandy emulation are disabled.
I wouldn't be surprised if something is hosed on my side, but if anyone could confirm or provide a workaround - I'd be grateful.
