DESCENT 2 PROBLEM

hi,

i am trying to play descent 2 on my DOS machine, but there is a horrible problem. setup seems to detect my sound card fine, and the samples play, too. but whenever i try to execute the program, it freezes before the opening cutscene. just a blank screen, and i have to turn the computer off. when i disable sound effects in setup, it works fine, just without sound(which sucks). any advice will help as i have had this problem for a long time and have never been able to fix it. here are my specs:

AMD K6-2 300 mhz processor
96mb ram
sound blaster vibra 16 ISA sound card
running MS-DOS 6.22
conventional DOS memory free: 672k

thanks,
andrew

Move the sound card to another slot. Either 1 above/below where it is currently.

what exactly would changing slots accomplish? if the dma or irq is what i should change, then i can just change them on the board itself with jumper switches.
