If you are having issues with stuttering music try disabling hardware acceleration for sound card.

is there a way to do that just for a given program instead of just disabling it in dxdiag? because that's a pain in the ass when I want to play something else and I have to fire up dxdiag again to revert sound acceleration to the previous setting

Maybe some vbs? Dunno. But does turning off hardware accelleration stands in the way of playing other games? Have you tried some setting in the middle ?

it does with some games. I have a realtek soundcard, which is fickle like that and different settings work for different games. granted, it's not that bad as most of them don't really seem to mind, but it's a pain in the ass anyway :P

Personally I like ion-board sound/gfx cards as they provide me with an easy to use alternative hardware configuration to run old games. I remember spending hours of googling in a search for stuttering sound problem on privateer 2 - then I switched from SB Live to Realtek - and problem disappeared.
