I tried changing myself to linux (Fedora) and I still had problems with a Realtek ALC892 for audio, which is a chip from 12 years ago. No solution other than buy a soundcard with a different chip.
Unfortunately, we still be using windows.
Curiously the game were working quite fine as long as I was using x11.
ALC892 afaik was a very common chip integrated into the mobo some years back, its not a discrete card itself but if it's causing the problem the solution is to either change your motherboard (and for something that old youll likely need to change CPU and possibly RAM too) or buy a discrete sound card
