Description
I'm still having issues with getting the retail copy of Abe's Oddysee to run naturally on DosBox-X even on the fastest configuration.
I'm using the Lenovo ThinkPad preset with the SoundBlaster 16 card to remove the distortion that happen in game e,g: when Abe enters the portal using the Vibra card it distorts on the bird portal sound.
Sometimes sounds will skip or play some extra sounds! It happens at the main menu at 00:17

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the retail Abe's Oddysee case on Windows with the Lenovo ThinkPad preset and SoundBlaster 16 configuration, checking the main menu around 00:17 and the bird portal sound. Done means the audio no longer distorts, slows, skips, or plays extra sounds.
