Hi, I lost all sound in CMR when I upgraded to DX7, and the patch did not
fix this. Neither did it fix the hang at the loading screen of Bluff's
Knoll. I've been told that this was due to my sound card not having a driver
update since 1997, and when I replaced DX7 with 6.1 the sound came back. I
didn't notice any difference in the graphics due to dithering enablement in
the patch.
