Summary	05040: galactic, spacmiss: Sound mutes when only a few aliens are left.
Description	When playing a round, the sound mutes when only a few aliens are left. If you die, the sound will come back afterwards for a very short time. If you finish the round and go to the next one, the sound will come back as normal (until a few aliens are left, again). Note that the game speed is affected by the number of aliens on screen. If there are a few left, the game runs fast, this is possibly related to the sound muting.

Normally, you'd be right to close it out but he's working on these drivers directly and it's likely something he can eventually correct. Reopening

No.09201 Robbbert Senior Tester Jan 3, 2013, 09:24	I've rearranged the sounds, the issue no longer exists. Hap can close it if he's satisfied.

You should ask for feedback from Brazilian guys that played the game, maybe some pcbs had Indian Battle-ish sound hw. In that case we'd need a driver_config or something to choose between sound boards.
