I have a rather uncommon problem.  I have a Trident VLB video card 
(admittedly a very low-end card) and a Sound Blaster Pro.  There seems to 
be some sort of conflict between the two.  About half the time when I 
load descent with sound, my screen screws up; I get static, basically.  
When I run it without sound effects, but with music, the problem is 
non-existant.

I had the same problem with Doom 1.2.  ID Software created the Doom 1.666 
patch primarily to fix the sound code.  Indeed, this fixed my problem; I 
could play Doom 1.666 with sound effects and my screen would be fine.

I've tried everything, except for taking my card in to see if its 
defective, though I doubt it.  I was wondering if a patch was coming out 
to fix the sound code as ID did with Doom, or if anyone had any 
suggestions.  I realize that I am possibly the only one with this 
problem.
