Did you tried SBEMU too? If you get smooth playback? So you can replicate the problem and have a chance to improve VSBHDA...

OK, also original CWSDPMI prefers VCPI over DPMI so I patched it some years ago. But it seems that some demos that use original cwsdpmi can play sound with VSBHDA/SBEMU even with preference of VCPI so I wonder why it is different in case of PMODE/W...
