DOSBox gets the problem if it's trying to use more CPU cycles than are
avalible. (ie. your cpu is to slow for the curent speed setting)

try using the speed controls (alt F11 or ctrl F11.. i dont remember)
to slow down DosBox till the sound steddies out. altho this may be to
slow for decent game play.


I find the default speed of 1800 CPU cycle is to slow and that 8000
cycles will tolerable (for TFTD but great for UFO) but needs a 1800+
to not have the sound choppy.  I run at 10000 cycles on my 2700+ but
that runs the CPU at about 95%. Emulators are major CPU hogs.


for the music you need to run setup from within dosbox and set the
music to  General Midi on port 330. it that doesent work.. try
Soundblaster music.
