Unfortunately, tweaking hardware acceleration for sound is no longer an option in Windows Vista. Supposedly the option has been removed because of all the issues it caused in earlier versions of Windows. It shouldn't be necessary to do so to avoid crashes anymore, but the crashes I get *are* very similar to ones I've been able to avoid in games in the past by turning off hardware acceleration.
Tweaking other DirectSound options are not an option either as far as I know, since DirectSound is only available through emulation. If anyone uses Vista and has managed to play with DirectSound settings I'd love to hear about it, though.
