Devin Wilson experienced this problem with a new HP Vista machine. By default it was set to 48000Hz output, and it appears that when set to 44100Hz output, the sound-card sample-rate conversion distorted the low frequency waves, creating a buzzing sound. The solution was to set sbagen to output at 48000Hz, using “-r 48000” in the SBG files.
