Strange speed/midi problem with P1

I have a strange problem with P1. I made a boot disk to run my 486 in a pure DOS environment. This machine has a Sound Blaster 16. Am able to play the game, but the problem begins when an actual flight. Both in the MIDI music and the game are operating at the correct speed until the actual play screen displays. That is where you're looking out the cockpit of your ship. Then the game and the MIDI music slow below normal speed and the game runs much lower than it should. As soon as the game enters an animation sequence like landing or jumping, the game and music temporarily return to normal speed. The speed also corrects when the CD-ROM is accessed. I have experienced this problem on 2 completely different systems with different sound cards. As anyone else ever had this problem? I would really like to solve it, the game not operating at the proper speed really takes away from the fun. I would greatly appreciate any ideas and help.

Wasn't there something about the game running half speed without a joystick? Then again, I have no joystick, but my Priv runs at a constant speed...
 
Hey all, thanks for the replys. I use a boot disk to run real dos. My autoexec.bat and config.sys are below. I tried not loading the sound driver, but it didn't help. I also tried reming out the midi variable with the same result. I'll try connecting a joystick when I get back in later. Thanks vary much.

autoexec:

LH A:\BBBMOUSE.COM
C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /S /D:MSCD001 /L:R
SET SOUND=C:\SB16
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6
SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E


config:

OS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICE=A:\QEMM386.SYS RAM R:1
DEVICEHIGH=C:\SB16\DRV\CTSB16.SYS /UNIT=0 /BLASTER=A:220 I:5 D:1 H:5
DEVICEHIGH /L:1,13408 =C:\DEV\CDMKE41.SYS /D:MSCD001 /SBP:220
