Peace and joy to decades! It runs! It still refuses to play sound... (even after forcing the config, thanks for the tip 5th horseman)

It runs just like any other in dosbox, doesn't crash anymore. I think it was a one time error (at least i hope) but the sound error thingey just developed a new (and strange) way of bugging me. If i try to autoconfig it FINDS a SB-16 w/ IRQ 7 DMA 1 HDMA 5 PORT 220 (e.g. exactly the way i want it) but when i smack the test button it says "Kan geluidskaart niet initialiseren" (in english: Can't initialize soundcard), now the interesting thing is that when i autodetect again, it goes to Gravis ultrasound with blank IRQ, DMA, HDMA & PORT. After this, when i select SB-16 Again i get REALLY strange settings, Namely IRQ -1 DMA -1 HDMA -1 PORT -ffff <- teh is weird

After MANUALLY correcting the values (IRQ 7 DMA 1 HDMA 5 PORT 220) and pressing the test button, IT WORKS! It plays sound like it should and everything. I exit the setup, Save the config, Start the game and *K-POW*, Can't initialize the soundcard AGAIN!

Frustration is taking the better of me so hereby i'm posting my cpu specs. (to help me help you and vice versa)

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ (currently @ 3,4 GHZ)
Nvidea G-Force 7800 (with SLI & GPU) 512MB Edition Silver
Creative Sound Blaster X-FI LIVE (teh uber soundcard)
2048 MB RAM (DDR DUAL 400+ MHZ)

Furthermore i have a phunky keyboard w/ hotkeys, Logitech optical mouse (2b) 2 Joysticks / Gamepads (logitech dual action, Thrustmaster firestorm w/ rumble function.) and also a lot of onboard crap like sound and video but they are all disabled. firewall is down and windows' DEP is down as well (I hate getting my virtual memory fingered by XP)

If anyone can find a way or method to get the sound running in the game using the above information please tell me...

EDIT: Almost forgot, i verified that my copy is not corrupted in any way. i re-installed it twice and everything is normal.
