Improve sound performance in VPC 4.36
Is there any way to improve sound performance in VPC? I use it to play Worms and Worms Re-enforcements, but the sound breaks up into static and is often lagged. Other games that I play this way (Tombraider, Mech2 etc) are fine.

Have you tried a newer version of Virtual PC? I believe 5.2 was just released. They are still offering 45 day free eval licenses.
Hi Curley_Boy,
While Adam Jackson's suggestion is definetly worth a try you may find that the reason you're having problems isn't software, but your lack of horsepower. Make sure you have a screaming CPU, lots of ram, and decent video card.
Good Luck,

I might give the new version of VPC a try... I have had some sucess with Worms, by selecting 'Sound Blaster' instead of the 16/AWE32 and reducing the sound quality in game.
