Well, I downloaded DirectX 5 and Gabriel Maldonado's DirectSound 2.0, and
that did the trick.  I still need to work on some tweaking (mostly a
matter of getting used to my new setup), but I have almost completely
eliminated that delay.  The delay is now virtually imperceptible.  Thanks
to everyone who responded!
