Sound in Dune while running DOSBox

[bob_fox]

I know we've had a few threads discussing what to do to get sound to work in Dune and Dune II, and I've got sound to work in both games before using a DOS bootdisk. But now when I run the first Dune in DOSBox I get no sound. Do I have to change something in the DOSBox config file?

Umm, I've got the floppy version and it runs fine in DOSBox... Try playing around with different sound cards (I mean select them from the game configuration) until you reach the result. I suppose you've got a regular DOSBaox config file with everything enabled?

sven what version do you use?

I can remember when trying the cd version it was a real pain with version 0.60.

Haven't tried it with the latest dosbox version.

The floppy version works fine with emu opl3 and my real MT32 :D

I'll give it a try asap.

I'm using the floppy version and DOSBox 0.72. I've got a regular DOSBox config file; all I've done is added some lines to the autoexec section to mount my drive and take me there.

Hold on - I've just fixed the problem. The setup program makes changes to comm.bat, and not dune.bat as I originally thought, so my choice of sound card in the setup program was not making a difference to the game. I should have noticed it earlier and run the right file. Oh well, perhaps my absentmindedness will help to serve someone else.

Ok... also tested the lastest version of dosbox and it works ok.

Haven't seen problems yet.

Glad I also have real old system.

OPL2 and 3 sounds so much better on a real system :)

Gravis is a close one though.

The problem is solved.

In DUNE.BAT file this is the right config:

@echo off
