Hello, gentlefolk!

Two questions. I've noticed there are quite a few posts about soundskip/sound issues with Heroes II, but wondered if anyone had any solutions for an XP box, one where increasing the prebuffer rate, ctrl-f11, or switching graphic modes doesn't seem to do too much? The other question I have - is there a way to switch to the other operatic themes in H2? The one where the sorceress town starts out with aya'aiaaa, and the warlock town has the da-daaaa da da da da da daaaa...?

Yes, that's a terrible rendition of the music but the questions remain. Thank you!
