Hi Shaun, The problem is that Directsound 8 is not properly emulated on newer versions of Windows. The virtual 3d audio support is broken on Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8, and especially when it comes to hardware mixing. The simple solution to this problem is when and where possible set the games up for simple 2d stereo panning. I know in Shades of Doom, for example, you can go into settings and use stereo output which works on Windows 7, but the virtual 3d does not work correctly if at all with some games. So hope that answers your questions.
Cheers!
