I seem to have the same problem.  In multiplayer games, I usually turn
off the music but leave the sound.  Like you, the intermittent static
or squealing still occurs.  It's not as bad as 50% for me,
fortunately.

On Ensoniq's website, I think they say they do NOT provide separate
DirectSound drivers.  They state that their current drivers are
compatible with the latest version 3 of DirectX since the DirectSound
component did not change from 2 to 3.
