Ok, so a while ago I got this custom system from someone that I am fairly certain was originally a Windows 98 rig. After going through a bit of trouble to get it to work correctly, it seemed to be working just fine, but when I play certain games the audio (music is most noticeable) is completely messed up. Now, certain things also sound just fine. The music on the "Welcome to Windows 98" thing sounds just fine and the sound on the loading screen of The Sims is just fine, but then other times it almost sounds like it is trying to play the music too fast and then keeps skipping back. Here are two videos I shot:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYDURHxXwQI -- The Sims (working loading music and messed up main menu music)
Now, I feel like this might be a problem with the on-board sound card, but I don't really want to go through the bother of finding the correct drivers for, and installing, one of my spare cards until I am more certain. Worth mentioning is that I tried some DOS games that use MIDI (such as DOOM) and they didn't play music at all. Also, Half-Life refuses to play the CD audio tracks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
