X-Wing Sound Problem

I am trying to play X-Wing (CD version)but I am having a problem with the sound. My sound card is the CT4390 SB AWE 64 Gold card. I run the AWEUTIL /S program to initiate the MIDI capability for the soundcard via my Autoexec.bat file when I boot up the computer. I am running the game in DOS mode. When I start the game the music is on but the digital sound effects are not and the game typically locks up when I try to access the Training Grounds door. If I start the game and then exit the game at the beginning (as the scrolling Star Wars text starts) and run the AWEUTIL /S program again and start the game again I get full music and sound effects and the sound seems to work perfectly. Running the AWEUTIL /S program the second time only resolves the sound problem after I have started the game and then exited the game. Running the AWEUTIL /S program again after boot-up but before entering the game the first time has no effect on the sound in the game (still just music)so it appears to me the problem must be somewhere in the game configuration files that are set up when the game starts. Does anyone have any ideas about what might cause this problem and how it could be resolved? The jury-rigged method I am currently using to get the sound to work seems to work for now but I am concerned I may run into additional problems as I get deeper into the game.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
