You've made some changes in the configuration here (switching from enabling
pulseaudio to oss)
Not sure if many apps now support OSS (and no library or apps obvious on Cygwin)
vs ALSA (also supported by PulseAudio), and on Linux they seem to be adding
PipeWire.
Pulseaudio support is available and required on Cygwin:

I think you've also dropped the winmm patch.
Under Windows, it is critical that MM timer period/resolution be determined,
saved, increased, and restored correctly, to avoid affecting other multimedia
drivers, apps, and timing services, which may have changed the MM timer
period/resolution.
[NTP ntpd under Windows handles common NMEA and binary serial GPS units with DCD
PPS (operates as well as under Linux with LinuxPPS) to maintain system timing
within a few microseconds (RMS ~ 500ns) offset from UTC.]
