It depends what you mean by "sound interrupt".

WinME forces all audio through the kernel: kmixer.sys mixes multiple audio streams, and resamples it, so that several programs can use the sound chip or sound card at once.

Asio4All (a universal ASIO driver for WDM) is a program that can control this to some degree, giving you sound that has not been resampled.

WDM (Windows Driver Model audio) was introduced with WinME. It did not apply in Win98SE, so you can defeat WDM resampling by installing Win98SE, which used the older VXD audio.

Or at least, by *default* Windows 98 does not support multichannel. It might be reconfigured to do so.

The WDM audio drivers in Win ME are located in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS
