Workaround for Audigy2 ZX Soundcards

[Stormfly]

hi all,

after some testing, my problems regarding freezing together with abnormal sounds and lockups after a while playing SH5 release or patch 1.01 and SB Audigy2 ZX, i can say its running stable now.

this is only tested with XP SP3 32bit...

...run dxdiag and set your audigy hardware acceleration to MINIMUM acceleration.

I had the same problem and the same sound card. Game would run fine, but it would inevitably lock up with horrid sounds out of the speakers after 10-30 minutes of play.

I fixed it by switching to my mobo's onboard sound.
