	I was having some of the same problems until I realized that
the registered version requires more convential memory.  I created a
dual boot environment, which provided the bare minimum, basically just
the sound card, and all of the cool sounds returned.  I am guessing that
if there isn't quite enough convential memory available, some less
important sounds get mapped to more generic sounds like you are
hearing currently.  Hope that helps.
