I have an older AWE-32 in my other machine and it has had problems in
the past with other games and utilities causing lockup. I have been
told by creative labs that the newest drivers can help solve this
problem. They can be downloaded from Creatives ftp site. I havent
tried personally because I only use that machine for bookkeeping and
music secquencing.

What I/O addresses are you assigning to your soundcards?  Some advanced
video cards use some strange I/O addresses when run in SVGA/VESA.  Check
your video card's specs and see if they mention any I/O addresses which
fall into the range you have your soundcards set up for.

just a guess but try setting your sound card to 8 bit  sound blaster.
I think the AWE32's are backwards compatible .  maybe that will
atleast allow you to hear sound.
