Hey all,

I'm trying to get the old Doom to work on my new machine, which is a Windows 
XP box. If it matters, I have an Sound Blaster Live Value card. I use the 
setup program to set the audio options to use a "Sound Blaster". WHen I play 
the game, any time a sound effect is played, the game becomes extremely slow. 
   The midi music seems to work fine (although it slows down with the rest of 
the game when a sound is played). The smae thing happens with my old copy of 
Heretic.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks,

Dave
