Here is the solution. 1.) Remove the Soundblaster card and put it away. 2.) Buy a Hercules Gamesurround FortiSSimo2 and install it. 3.) No more Rice Krispies or sounds of walking soldiers when there nowhere to be found. I have done this to both my systems. One runs on WINXP and the other on WINSE Upgrade.

Is it just me or does it seem to take quite awhile to get logged into this forum these days. I have tried all different times of the day or night and it does not matter.

I battled with this problem for months on both my computers. One system is running WINXP and the other WIN98SE.  Both had the same problem with the    ling and poping sounds plus foot steps from soldiers that were no where to be seen ever since I loaded the orginal game.  I finally broke down and after years of faithful commitment to Soundblaster products I I purchased and installed a Hercules Gamesurround FortiSSimo2.  THE PROBLEM IS GONE!!!.  Bottom line here is either the current Soundblaster drivers are not compatible with this game or this game is not compatible with Sounblaster sound cards.
