I've tried VDMsound with several old games like M.A.X., StarControl 3
and I've found out that it cannot transmit the sound smoothly without breaks. It seems it cannot sinchronize sound buffers or it's taking way to much system resources... The game with sound gets unplayable.
I've got AthlonXP 2500 and 512 mb RAM. It must be more than enough to emulate anything

I have the same problem.
VDMS emulates the sound damn too laggy and even the game slows down while processing the sound. My case is STRIFE.

It would be nice to answer this problem.

I have the same problem with the game Harvester. Help would be very appreciated.

yeah i know, sometimes it helps to reduce the DMA servicing (under advanced vdmsound properties/performance) to min:2/max:5 (you should also try other combinations) and see if this helps.

and make sure that your game is set to soundblaster (not pro/16 or awe32), this reduces sound stuttering mostly.
