For Windows XP, you need to find a program known as "VDMSound" to get sound
working in Descent 1 and the Dos version of Descent 2.  (Windows version of
Descent 2 should have sound support without any problem.)

Altenativly, you can use the D1X and D2X source ports.  They are not only
native to the Windows envrionment, but also allow fixing other problems
such as the homing missile problem (too accurate in framerates above 35.)
