(or is it possible to put it in HIGH?) in your... config.sys. Or was it autoexec.bat? Man, it was too long since I did this...

My System is:

I use General Midi in Privateer as music interface and soundblaster 16 for FX. But also when i use the soundblaster 16 for music, i have crackling music and fx in space and the music is slow! It seems the general midi is not the problem! I have a joystick port at my sounblaster but i do not have a joystick - so i use the keyboard.

You need these two lines below the stacks=18,256.
BUFFERSHIGH=30
FILESHIGH=30
You don't need Devicehigh for these two lines.
DEVICEhigh=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICEhigh=C:\windows\EMM386.EXE 15360 RAM D=64 FRAME=E000 /I=B000-B7FF
These two programs wouldn't load high so change them back to DEVICE=. Your wasting memory using a command that does help.
Do a find files for sndscape.ini and ctsyn.ini. If you find them add the SET SNDSCAPE=C:\<path> and SET CTSYN=C:\<path> below the SET BLASTER= line.
Example:
SET SNDSCAPE=C:\WINDOWS
SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS
Add this lines to the top of the autoexec.bat.
SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;
SET TEMP=C:\TEMP
SET TMP=C:\TEMP
PROMPT $p$g
Add J200 to the SET BLASTER= line. This will give you a joystick port.
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H7 P330 T6 J200
Add the LASTDRIVE=? line to the buttom of the config.sys. Replace ? with the last drive letter in "MY Computer". Example: LASTDRIVE=F

Thanks for your answer johnl12.
I tried your new commands but the sound is still crackling in space.
I could not find the files sndscape.ini and ctsyn.ini.
The command "J200" in autoexec.bat (set blaster)is always deleted ,i think, by windows. But it does not matter because the sound is still crackling although i play direct from dos without starting windows before.
My new autoexec.bat :
SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
SET TEMP=C:\TEMP
PROMPT $p$g
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H7 P330 T6 J200

I use now a joystick for privateer and the general midi music is very good now. The crackles are gone now and the music plays in normal speed. WOW!
But the sound from my guns is still screetching. HORRIBLE!
The guns from the enemies and all other sounds in the game are good. What is this?
