But, get another version, diferent than the one i have via web would be legal?

Or it will be as the games many people download from p2p or others?
(The question is just for info, i'm not sure about what i will do now)

Possibly, in some weird sense. It's hardly worth quibbling over; I really doubt anyone will ever care. We're talking about a game that's ten years old whose creators can't be located even if you tried. (Seriously, people have tried. It's pretty hopeless.)

It probably wouldn't be legal and you shouldn't be asking anybody here to provide it for you, because that is simply against the forum rules. If you really want it, the game is easy enough to find (and I daresay you've done your bit by getting an original copy and shouldn't feel too bad about getting an "upgrade" when the company that made it no longer even exists).

Found another version, but in MD5 still things diferent, i used the ver. to cross the problematic point, saved game and gone agait to my ver., anyways, i dont like to say things like this here.

But thnk you guys for your help.

PD: The problem sound still there in the downloaded version. The cause would be using windows vista?

It sounds like there's quite a few different versions of the game out there, making our earlier theory even more likely to be correct.

Very unlikely. The Sound Blaster emulation inside DOSBox is not dependent on the host OS. Playback might sound slightly different (lag, specifically -- and that can often be fixed by changing DOSBox' configuration), but nothing like what you describe.

You should definitely check whether you've specified the correct IRQ setting. An incorrect IRQ setting (for instance, the game thinks the SB is at IRQ 5, when DOSBox has put it at IRQ 7) has been known to cause some strange problems with timing and sounds cut off.

It is also possible that, now that 3 versions have been found, only that specific version Jorpho has has fixed this bug.

I tryed to change options of SB, but if i dont use the default ones, i get as a sound the same like the interference of touching the end of cable of the speakers. Or sometimes, depending of the config, no SB is allowed to the config. (And i tryed with diferent types of SB)
