  The reason for looping the playback is most likely an IRQ conflict.
  You shouldn't share the same IRQ for both PAS16 and SB part of it.
  Change q:7 to q:10, or q:11, or q:15.  See if that will work.  I
  would also change the s:1,220,1,7 to s:1,220,1,5 since some of the
  newer games are looking for SB at IRQ 5, not 7.  But that's just
  a matter of preference in most cases.  This should also resolve the
  second problem.  And I don't think any chnages in CONFIG.SYS would
  help with problem #3 ;^)  Good luck,
