Hi Shaun,

that's because DirectSound 8 is broken on Windows 7. Shades of Doom, GMA
Tank Commander, and Sarah all have audio problems with Windows 7 and Windows
8 because DirectSound lost its 3d virtualization when Microsoft updated
their mixer support. Microsoft's answer is upgrade to XAudio2, but of course
no one is doing that yet. However, XAudio2 has a few bugs of its own I am
not happy about, but anyway  the issue with Shades of Doom etc is
Directsound.

Cheers!
