First off I want to thank you guys for making this mod. When I heard about it several days ago I got very excited and as soon as I came home from university I dug around until I found Tie Fighter and X-Wing Alliance.
The music in game often gets messed up. Basically it is like when a computer game freezes and all you hear is the same one second of music repeated over and over again. Generally this happens during briefings, but it can strike at any time, sometimes within a minute of loading, other times after 2 missions. The stuttering will not stop until you exit out of the game.
I attempted to work with the sound options to increase the sound quality but each time I start up the game its back at its default settings.
Anyways system info:
Pentium 4 3GHZ 1GB RAM SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio
X-wing english
Tie Fighter Collectors CD

For Pentium chips, make sure "hyperthreading" is disabled or turned off when you play XWA. You'll have to enter your motherboards' bios setup during POST (bootup).

There is a solution to this music bug I recently found on another forum. I tested it, it works perfectly:
After starting XWA / TFTC press CRTL+ALT+DEL to access the taskmanager. Click on "Processes". Right click on the XWA.exe will bring up a menu, on the menu you will find SET AFFINITY. There you find a small dialog box with your 2 or 4 cores listed. Uncheck all but 1 and voila, you are all set.
This is built into windows btw, you don't need other tools.
The reason seems to be that XWA doesn't deal well with Dual/Quad cores. There are no performance issues by playing with 1 core only.

Thanks for info. r2 but he had a P4 chip, so i'm assuming it was hyperthreading issue. Glad you pointed out the dual core + chips issue for future reference.
