Hello,
I had a similar problem with Rott a while back,
and it turned out that I needed to change my
BLASTER variable in my dos session from:

BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H5 P330 T6

to:

BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H5 P330 T4

until I made that change, Rott would lock up on
some levels. I am running windows98 and my
sound bd is a soundblaster live. I'm not sure
if this will work on your os....

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">The WinME drivers don't support FM at all (since WinME uses General Midi for DirectSound and MCI). If you were using Win98 the sound in these games would work.

Sorry to hear that, this is just my opinion, but I
never liked onboard sound chips, most of my
experiences with those were bad. You could try
going into your bios and disabling the onboard
sound chip and putting in a sound blaster live (pci
only bd). You then could download the sb16 emulation drivers:

Again, I'm not sure if these will work under your os...
