jonathanq916 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I am just looking for some help getting the music to work with Dune 2 for windows XP. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoon Knight Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Your best bet would be to make a post in the Dune II Board, which can be found here.Never played anything before Dune 2000 myself, so can't be of much help personally. Have a look around the various threads on that board as well - chances are that someone will have had the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathanq916 Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 I've downloaded dosbox and the current version Dune II and the only sound I can get it sound effects, no music. I've also downloaded and ran the current sound fixes and patches. I just can't get the music to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 What choices have you made in the Dune II setup program? Once you get the sound patch (either official or the unofficial one), you can select multiple sound devices, most of which are supported by DOSBox. I suggest you select Sound Canvas or MT-32 for music, and Sound Blaster/Pro for sound and speech (make sure you enable the emulation of the appropriate Sound Blaster device in dosbox.conf).Otherwise, have you checked if music is ON in the game options (OPTIONS -> Game options)?

Nyerguds Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I can get all sounds by using VDMSound and putting the "sound" (actually Music) to Sound Canvas (option 6), and the rest to Sound blaster Pro.This doesn't even need VDMSound, but without VDMS you don't get the (generated) sonic tank sound.
