FastDoom "Wobbly" sound on SB AWE32

I have this very unusual problem with sound. I was trying out TNT: Evolution when I heard the disasterous sound. Then I investigated. This is what I tried so far: -Reseat the card -Try another ISA slot I recorded some samples in 3 quality: bad (7000hz, 1 channel), default (11025hz, 3 channels) and excellent (44100hz, 8 channels) I also tried every option in SB direct mode, but that was extremely laggy even on my Pentium MMX @ 200mhz (6 FPS in excellent). I tested it on the first demo in TNT that pops up after starting the game. I can't send you the samples, because GitHub doesn't allow it. You can DM me on Discord or send me and Email if you're interested. Edit: I noticed it on Boom, too, but on 44100hz only. In Fastdoom it's much more noticible.

Strange.

I tested it on my new Pentium 2 PC and it worked fine until I tried a PCI card. From that point on the setup program crashes and I don't have sound.
