If you got the CD version be sure to download the patch for it as it improves the sound compabilities very much.

There are probably a patch for the floppy version aswell, but since I have the CD version of it, I haven't been bothered to check it up.

@ Orginal Guest : have you tried to decrease the Sampling rate to 22050 khz ??? I had this problem when i was running the sample rate @ 44100, and maybe decrease the blocksize to 2048 (i have this settings, and never had stuttering in any game)

i solved the problem with the stuttering sound by increasing the block size to 8192 and the cpu cycles to 5000 at full emulation mode.

hope it works for you folks.
