First off, I know I shouldn't really be using a PCI soundcard for this but as of right now I have no ISA slot, so unfortunately I'm stuck with this atm.
I have a SoundBlaster Live Value! (CT4670). I installed the Livewire drivers, including DOS drivers and for the most part everything seems fine. Doom sound works fine for example. However in Duke 3d, the sound effects are fine, but the music gets slow and almost sounds like it's running in slowmotion, and this seems to directly correlate to how "complex" the music is at that point. For example the opening part of the Duke theme is as it should be, then it starts to get bogged down and sound like it's running slower. The game itself runs perfectly in terms of framerate, and I can't really figure out the issue.
The SB16 emulation has been assigned IRQ 10, and no matter how many voices or different settings I try in Duke it seems to be the same issue.
Is this just a known issue with PCI sound cards, or is there something more here? I am using a 775 motherboard, is it possible that there is bad compatibility there?
Thanks in advance.
