Yep, I have the same problem with my Ensoniq Soundscape Elite - and
several other soundcards, such as some versions of the AWE 32 do as
well.  It is more like 10% of the time for me - which is easy to fix by
quickly saving and reloading in the single player game or in either the
single player game or multiplayer game by going up/down stairs or using
a town portal.  Annoying, but workable.
