Post subject: No sound in older games in dosbox |
 |
|
Hi there,
I can't get sound in older games to work. At the moment I am trying hole in one minigolf from 1989 and Litil Divil from 1993. The games work fine but I can't get them to play any sound no matter which soundcard I choose.
Tried a downloaded version and an old CD version of both I still got. Soundblaster is shown when dosbox starts. Using archlinux as operating system.
For example in Betrayal at Krondor from 1993 sound works fine. Why do those 2 games not give any sound?
How to get this running?
Greetings
[EDIT] In Litil Divil ist was an ashaming mistake: the configuration file was not writable. Hole in one minigolf still open[/EDIT] |

Some games use their own setup programs to configure sound.
(I don't recall how Litil Divil did it, my copy is in storage somewhere.) |

Maybe you need to set soundblaster settings in dosbox config?
I think dosbox defaults to 220, 7, 1 (original SB defaults); but many games defaulted to 220, 5, 1 (common/later default). But usually games had a way to configure that, as Rwolf says.
Here's the documentation for dosbox.conf sound card setup:
