I had a problem with the sound after I installed patch/enhancement V3.0 also. I read about what 2 lines, and it worked.
I added: EAX=0
DS3D=0
And it worked. BTW it was in that order too. I placed them at the bottom of my file, under [Alpha Centauri], the game has added since then. I have a Yamaha PCI sound card, and 4 MEG Graphics card. Hope helps some people. I've been looking for these lines, and found them eventually.

I have a SB live and at random times during games, my sound would all of a sudden get louder. What this meant was that within the next 5 turns the game was going to crash the terran.exe file with a problem with the sound.dll file. I too looked at these files and so far, it seems to me that the file in question maybe the DS3D entry. I have the EAX=1 and DS3D=0 and it hasn't crashed again (yet?). Perhaps this will help firaxis locate the errent line(s) of code.
