This older shareware game seems to emit a repeated stutter sound when it attempts to initialize the sound card. I've tried various sbtypes (sb1, sb2, sbpro, sb16) and I get the same issue. I also tried a few different IRQ's and ports.

Unfortunately, the only other option is pc speaker. Any advice? Thank you.

I am using 0.74 on Win 7 x64.

if I run it with loadfix, it comes back and says it is unable to initialize the soundblaster.

Don't run the game executable as a parameter of loadfix, use two separate commands:

loadfix
asterock

It's just touchy about load address, and running loadfix separately makes a small difference.

You may also need to delete asterock.cfg if it has the wrong soundblaster type or settings recorded in it.
