Yes, it took me a while, but I've finally managed to make IT214 work with VDMSound (2.0.4 + update + launchpad) on my WinXP machine... Searched this here forum for all the threads on the subject, but nothing seemed to work for me. I was actually ready to give up and move to ModPlug Tracker (which I do NOT want to do - I'm too used to the IT interface). But just then... somehow, I did it. Don't know what I would've done without you guys *gets all misty-eyed*... you rule!
There are still a couple of (relatively) unimportant issues that bug me, though...
- Now, this is odd: I've used the v1 option to disable IT from doing whatever it does with VESA (as advised here); the application starts in a window. If I use alt+enter to get it into fullscreen mode, then start playing anything, sound gets choppy, crappy and slow. BUT if I alt+enter to fullscreen, then alt+enter back to windows, then fullscreen again, and only then start playing sound - everything seems to work fine. Any proven solution to that?
- Sound quality is still not the best.. some of crackles and pops at times, nothing major. I got the bit about decreasing the minimum DMA polling period, but what about the maximum - should I be decreasing that as well?
- Solving the lag between display and sound - this is the only bit which I'm afraid I haven't understood yet, even after looking through the relevant threads... perhaps I'm thick (probably just tired though), but I'd appreciate it if someone can explain.
Some computer info if it helps...

- MSI 845PE motherboard
- RAM: 256MB DDR 333MHz
- AC'97 audio
- inno3D tornado GeForce 4 MX 64mb DDR video
- WinXP Professional SP1
- .... well, the rest would probably be irrelevant...
