I am aware of most of the problems that Under a Killing Moon is having. 
But I am certain that it's not the game that is at fault(at least 
for my system). Because of the SB incompatability, I actually bought a 
Logitech Soundman(SB compatable card) which I installed just to play
all the SB games that require digital speech including UAKM. UAKM 
works ok with the Soundman although the sound could be better. At least
that's what I am hoping to get from the Aria SB emulation.  So, I
removed the Soundman and tried the Aria with SB201 loaded. Then it stops
working, i.e. no digital speech is heard and it hangs the system when
it tries to produces speech during game play, although other games such
as USNF gives both speech and background without any problem. But USNF
would sound the same even w/o SB201(this is done after a clean boot
w/o loading SB201). It seems like there are more than one way to produce
speech with SB and the one UAKM is using is definitely not compatible 
with the Aria+SB201.

So, fellow Arians, if you have both the Aria w/ old ROM and Under a 
Killing Moon, please gives SB201.exe a try to see whether it works.
