I have been encountering the DMA sound buffer yet again after getting
it to work at earlier stages in the game. At the moment, its crashing
at the scene between Hamilton Temple and Elinor Knox at the top
of the stairs facing west. This is the one where Hamilton reveals
that he wants to know if Stoll can give him real magic. It plays the
scene finishes, starts reading the CD and then aborts.
At this stage, I have finished the maze and the coffins and been to
the library to view the scene which opens up more rooms.

I am running it with a Soundblaster Pro I and Creative's cdrom package.
Loading mscdex and the cdrom driver low seems to make know difference
either. There was a post which mentioned that Trilobyte had a bug
with whatever check routine which is causing this error. Sounds pretty
plausible to me since I fail to understand why after finishing more than
half the rooms that it can't do DMA right now. The error appears to be
consistent which prevents me from going EW along the corridor.

Can anybody tell me if anything in particular happens after the scene
with the magician and the woman?
