Default DarkSeed 2 and VfW

I've bought a brand-new sealed copy of DarkSeed 2 a month ago.

I've finally installed Windoze 3.11 under DOSBox emulation and DarkSeed 2 runs as it should be.

Although it refuses to play any AVI, giving the message "Cannot open AVI", thus no cut-scenes through the game. That's possible have something to do with the installed version of VfW probably right? The latest one I can find is the 1.1e version. Is there a newer one, or at least the same version that's no buggy at all (as it seems)?

Also, I can watch the AVI files from DarkSeed 2 via the ancient MediaPlayer under Win3.11 without any problems.

Secondly, I have installed SB16 drivers for sound and music, but it seems that the sound inside that game isn't 100% pure. What I mean. You can hear the music and sound effects normally, but when it comes for speech, it gives the impression that overrides the music at some point. I dunno, if that was normal back then. Any clues?

Thanks in advance.
