Hi Shaun, that's because DirectSound 8 is broken on Windows 7. Shades of Doom, GMA Tank Commander, and Sarah all have audio problems with Windows 7 and Windows 8 because DirectSound lost its 3d virtualization when Microsoft updated their mixer support. Microsoft's answer is upgrade to XAudio2, but of course no one is doing that yet. However, XAudio2 has a few bugs of its own I am not happy about, but anyway the issue with Shades of Doom etc is Directsound. Cheers!
