Disable DirectSound Hardware Acceleration

Ok, I know it sounds odd, and I know I'll probably get lots of "what?!", but I would like to request a dll that turns off directsound hardware acceleration while the engine is open. The reason I ask for such a thing is because there are problems on alot of pcs when using the snd_ functions. the sounds only play in one channel, and/or it makes it where changing th balance does nothing. I have tested this and found that the only way to fix such problems is to turn hardware acceleration for directsound off. So, could someone do such a thing?

I'm sure this would help alot of people, and I'd be very grateful for such a dll.

any info on if this can be done?
