I have the same problem in Win95 with my PAS16: I will check my DMA. 

Would this also cause weird volume problems?  Any games I play with
animation sequences in them (EarthSiege2, Connections, etc.) have very
soft sounds even at full volume, but when the movies play the sound gets
really loud, ie the volume I'd expect.  I usually configure my card as a
SoundBlaster, but that didn't help.  Maybe it is something else?
