When i start up VDMSound DOS v.2.01 everything starts as normal. The sounds and music are all on time with the game. The music some times skips when i enter a different scene, this is a mild problem. The real problem is the sound effects, because the more i play the more they seem to shutter. The worse spot i have come across to demonstrate this is the lightening bug tree. When you get them to play the song it is horrible. The sound problem just continues to deterorate the more i talk to differant characters and i am unsure how to fix this situation. An important thing to note is that once it reaches a really shutter sound quality it will stop there. The quality will neither increase nor decrease from that point.
