I'm getting 'error 20: Sound Buffer failure' in The 7th Guest. That is error 20 and not 02. I've seen some other posts about error 02. I was running with no errors, but I had choppy speech due to my CD-ROM drive only having a 8K buffer. I upgraded to a 64K buffer and now the animation and speech are OK, but I get aborted with error 20 sometimes just after an animation sequence is finished. I think something IS happening to the sound buffer and a check is done between sequences to see if the buffer was corrupted. Sometimes the sound quits in the middle of the sequence. I'm running a 486-25Mhz, SoundBlasterPro1, 150K/sec(64K buffer) CD-ROM drive, Orichid Prodesigner II(100% on the benchmark) video card. I have /m:20 on the MSCDEX line. D=256 on my EMM386 line, and NOEMS on my HIMEM.SYS line. I do notice the background music slows down while the animations of moving through the house are played.
