Problem: Probably the "DMA clicking bug".
Example: I hear many louder clicks during the whole intro of Wing Commander Privateer, when sound effects and speech are used. The effect happens even without music present.

Is there anything to fix this? I don't remember this from the 90s. Mainboard/bios settings?
