Hi!

This reminds me of a problem I have with "sound". On one machine running Win
NT "sound" behaves very much like "nosound" the first time it is called
after the program was started, i. e. the first call of "sound" doesn't
produce any sound. Only the second, third, and so on do. Has anyone else
experienced this? Is it a hardware or NT problem? On two other machines -
one running Win 95 and the other one Linux/DOSEMU - "sound" always works as
expected.
