5 years without d. samples

[Tenzul]

I have a little problem with Dune 2.

The music is OK, but the digitized samples don't work.

Could anyone tell me how to start them when I have an integrated

sound card?

[Cyborg]

that problem is a very usual problem.

I don't know any solution to it, but having an old soundcard will make it easier for you...

Having a creative card also makes it easier... ;D

I have a problem with the DuneII sound aswell - it only plays through the PC speaker! I can't get any Digital sound

[Cyborg]

To be more specific than in my last reply:

Old games only supported a handful of soundcards because there weren't many at that time.

However, it is so extremely many different cards nowadays that the programmers don't want to write a code for each card...

You will find that your card won't work on more games than just Dune2.

Well I haven't seen (heard) Dune 2 on a faster compy than pentium 120.

I'm happy to hear the music at least. (For this I had to replace the Win.

config.sys with a dos version.)

I hope this'll help some of you.

Maby it is because Win. simulates the port of integrated cards. >:(

How do i do this and what are the concequences?

[Tenzul]

Well it depends on which Win. do you have.

The cosequences are that the game gains sccess to the memory.

i have 98se

[Tenzul]

Well I tried it on Win 95.

Now I have Win 98 and didn't have to repeat the thing again.

It was running OK then.

But if you want I could send you a modified config.sys in few days.

well, i played it on my amd k6 266 and i think my t-bird 1,33 ghz as well. I did need to download other drivers, dos drivers. But in the end all the sounds worked. Now on winxp however i can no longer rune dune2.

If I'm not mistaken, dune 2 makes use of DOS. Make sure the sttings for the soundcard in config.sys are correct (match them with your windows settings).

Also, can you select a soundcard in Dune 2 ? If so and if you haven't tried already, try choosing a Creative soundcard compatibility mode.

and try finding special dos sound drivers for your sound card on the I-net. In the case of a Sound Blaster Live! (that most people have) i think you'll need a DOS emulator, but i think that is standard already build in the normal Live! drivers. So I don't see any real solution there. I might check on the creative site to see if they have some info on DOS compatibility
