When I run the trial version, when I try to build a base, the games freezes and plays the music that goes along with that action in a broken record style manner. How do I fix this?

Start by downloading and installing DX 6.1 from www.microsoft.com/directx. If that doesn't work, provide me with your system specs, including soundcard, videocard, amount of ram, processor, etc..

That soundcard may be misdetected as EAX compatible. Try setting EAX and DS3D to 0 in the alpha centauri.ini files. You might also try disabling 3D hardware acceleration by right-clicking on My Computer, selecting properties, then performance, then graphics. Set the slider to 0.
