Has anyone actually got shadow warrior working with sound?,
Yes. Set it to 320x200 with no sound, no music.
Save, and confirm it works. Go back to setup (no VDMSound just yet), choose "SoundBlaster OR compatible", choose 1 or 2 Voices, Mono Sound, 8 or 11Khz Mix Rate, then test the sound. If it works, then try VDMSound (XP's built-in emulation is quite inferior).
Make sure you download/install v2.04 of VDMSound (make sure you're Administer), install (copy over) the update files, then install v1.0.0.7 of the GUI Launcher. Log off, then back on.
Right-click on the game's executable, choose the "Run with VDMS" with the little musical note. (If the hint message pops up, clear the checkbox so it doesn't appear next time.)
If you need to make adjustments later, make the changes to the .VLP file created by VDMSound.
You can try adjusting the audio in setup, but don't expect it to perform anything like it did under DOS/Win9x. So far, the best option (for me) has been to dual-boot back to Win9x.
