This problem in ZWW i think it's related to DSP plugin, for me blackscreen appears
right after music loops, but if old FixItemHang patch is enabled, there is no sound
in game almost but no sound-no loop and no blsckscreen

If it is related to sound loop, try using OpenAL instead of DSound, if your CPU is
not powerful enough, the sound could be stuttering but at least it won't bring sound
loop.

ayuanx, thanks OpenAl really works, no loop no blackscreen, at least i tested for 20
minutes, and no loop happened

So can we close this?
Some games require a precise synchronization of sound which can only be achieved by
OpenAL at the time.
Just remember this (I really hope we have a manual to document all these though)

I think it works but loading the disc over 25 minutes or more, depending on hardware
