I found a workaround for Might & Magic 8 that worked on my XP system. Try the following....
Start - Run (run a program)
regedit (loads the registry editor)
Search - "New World Computing" (search for the NWC string)
Make sure the Key found is "My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\New World Computing\Day of the Destroyer\1.0"
Change the key "3DSoundAvailable" to be '0'
Change the key "Disable3DSound" to be '1'
Exit regedit
RIGHT click on the icon for MM8 on your desktop
Select Properities
Under program name, change "mm8setup.exe" to be "mm8.exe"
Apply, and quit
You're Done, you should now be able to load and play the game, but without 3D sound (you will have standard sound)!
