I wonder how difficult and time consuming it would be to update the game so
that it would work on both old and new machines, if that is possible?

Hi Charles,
Technically it is the fault of the OS, because newer Windows versions
have a newer mixer that isn't compatible with older games and
applications that were based on DirectSound 8 and 3d hardware buffers.
However, one can argue the game is also at fault here, because newer
technologies exist to correct this problem and it can be fixed by
dropping support for DirectSound and switching to XAudio2, FMOD Ex,
whatever. So both are to blame for the problem in a case like this.
Cheers!
