VDMSound acting weird - choppy sounds

I have a Gericom X5Force laptop (P4Mobility 1,6GHZ, 384MB RAM, AC97 integrated soundcard, dunno the motherboard) with an XP Pro build 2600 (Service Pack1 and all updates installed in order).

I have installed VDMSound, but it acts weird - tried it with Jurassic Wars.
The sounds and music work fine for a while, then everything audio goes choppy for a while (for a few secs) and then it comes back normal for a while again, and then it starts going choppy again...

I've tried modifying the buffer and the DMA refresh rate, but so far no success getting past this thing.

Any idea what could be causing this/what could the solution be?

If jacking the buffer up to, say, 1 second, doesn't "fix" it (just proof of concept) then the game is somehow generating the intermittance, probably missing IRQs or something.
