Thanks Bladeforce, that's as easy as it's gets.

Weird, it seems to work now with the real CD and the -ioctl switch. I have played like 6 races now and even when the music ends a new random track is played. I guess using the real CD is still required for some games though I hate disc swapping .... 😒

The first thing I tired but unfortunately didn't work as well. What I'll try though now is installing Windows 98 on a virtual machine and see if it fixes the problem. If this fails as well I have to give up ...

I think it's actually the exception, rather than the rule, that games supplied their own patches for the Ultrasound. You certainly won't get any music out of, say, any of the Doom series (or Doom-tech games like Heretic/Hexen) without an Ultrasnd directory and patches. Besides the flaming, this was …

Oh ripsaw, you are awesome! :cool: That little tool actually fixed the looping CD audio issue. Can't thank you enough, it's really appreciated. Now, could this help with Carmageddon too? Would be more than great. PS: How can I automate the process of first executing "CTRLOOP.COM" and then "CHASM.EXE …

Can't hurt to try some other image making software. Indeed it can't but what would you suggest? CDRWin? Nero? Are you sure the audio tracks in Chasm: The Rift should loop? No, I'm not. It's been a decade since I played this under a real DOS environment. So maybe I'm wrong but usually the levels …

Can you explain what actually could be misconfigured?

I used Alcohol and converted it with UltraISO to BIN/CUE. But seriously, the image is correct as well as the cuesheet. The CD audio tracks start and end where they are supposed to be. In WMP/Winamp and in the game itself. Also simply proven because I used ripsaw8080's cuesheet just for fun and the …

What does that mean in reality? I tested it with Dark Forces, Duken Nukem 3D, Rise of the Triad, Asterix & Obelix and a few others. They ALL need real patches like provided in the "ready-to-go" archive from Huggybaby. So Qbix's statement doesn't seem to be valid since it is not optional but …

Well, I used Alcohol 120 to create the image and there's actually no Interplay logo And yeah, I'm from Germany, good guess 😉

No patches at all, just maximum install from the CD. Maybe my cuesheet is corrupt? FILE "Carmageddon.bin" BINARY TRACK 01 MODE2/2352 INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 02 AUDIO INDEX 01 34:02:33 TRACK 03 AUDIO INDEX 01 38:17:21 TRACK 04 AUDIO INDEX 01 43:57:66 TRACK 05 AUDIO INDEX 01 49:43:65 TRACK 06 AUDIO …

Hear, hear! Thanks for that feedback. So that would somehow underline my theory of the "null track" option to be valid. Now I just need to find some other games with CDA to be sure. In the meantime I'm gonna play some Star Wars - Dark Forces 😁

Hmmmmm ... Same result with the developer version. Sometimes the music plays, sometimes not. As before, totally random whether it works or fails. Though I'm beginning to think it maybe it's the game itself. Since the cd tracks for the menu and game are chosen randomly it could be possible that " …

Yeah, I'm aware of emucr.com. I get my PCSX2 builds from there 😉 Haven't tested Carmageddon with the latest DOSBox SNV but I'll try and report back later this day.

Well, now there's good and there's bad news. The good news is that I found the reason why there's no CD Audio which is actually stated in the "Read Me". It's rather obscure and doesn't make any sense whatsoever but one can only take a wild guess what made the game developers tick about 13 years ago. …

Although I searched this forum an abused Google to the maximum I have to give up at this point and ask for help. So, what are the facts: - I'm using the latest DOSBox 0.74 - I'm using a disc image in BIN/CUE format (audio works, tested with WMP) - I'm using Windows 7 64-Bit / i5 750 @ 2.67 GHz (Quad …
