I'm getting nasty static/popping coming out of my Sc55 while playing GM music in Dark Forces.

This is the only game I've discovered so far where this happens. Every other game is clear.

I'm playing on a pentium machine with an AWE32. Dos/win98.

Possibly related to the "MPU-401 Stuttering with high sampling rates" bug described here: Sound Blaster 16 Bugs and Deficiencies Summary

Try disabling digital audio in the game's setup and see if the issue still occurs. If not, that would confirm that the problem is caused by the aforementioned bug.

PC#1: Pentium MMX 166 / Soyo SY-5BT / S3 Trio64V+ / Voodoo1 / YMF719 / AWE64 Gold / SC-155
PC#2: AthlonXP 2100+ / ECS K7VTA3 / Voodoo3 / Audigy2 / Vortex2
PC#3: Core 2 Duo E8600 / Foxconn P35AX-S / X800 / Audigy2 ZS
PC#4: i5-3570K / MSI Z77A-G43 / GTX 980Ti / X-Fi Titanium
