It's not an issue of CPU speed.

You may want to try setting the shortcut properties for Win95/98
compatability.  If that doesn't work, try turning down the sound
hardware acceleration.  You can do that through DXDiag (under the audio
tab), or via the control panel. CP->Sounds and Audio Devices->Audio Tab,
then click the "Advanced" button under sound playback, Performance tab,
then adjust the hardware acceleration slider, trying to move it one
notch at a time.
