yes, I can reproduce this issue with MKDD3D. Using the PowerVR as D3D device, the sound hangs after a view seconds.
switching to the rageIIc (82440-driver) everything is OK. switching back to PowerVR, same issue.
I have checked the "special settings" and it seems to be better, if I deselect "2D on 3D" option in the advanced D3D settings,
but this leads to serious isses with black borders around moving objects in MDKD3D, so that's not an option for me.
The problem is, finding the reason for the issue. there are a lot of dependencies here. I don't think the powervr-drivers cause
this. I also don't think the essolo1 causes this.
btw. powervr version does not work either. the colors are wrong: Re: PowerVR Fun Thread
