I tried it (0.70 + SB16) and got this. But it goes away after some time and then it reappears.

some games, many games in fact have horrible sound quality when i set them up for ultrasound. the sound is crackling and popping constantly and also a little distorted. It is probably this long known problem http://tinyurl.com/25d3rx It is also present for example in: Blue Ice Bud Tucker Discworld …

This patch also fixes most of the distortion in Realms of the Haunting and Harvester. http://tinyurl.com/32nao4 H-a-l-9000, could you attach diff for "autoinit version" (or compiled DOSBox)? I would like to test it too but I am not a programmer and I am not sure what to replace.

Thanks for reply. I recorded sounds from setsound and the game. You may notice glitches at the beggining and end of setsound file. In the game is slight static sound that does not belong there.

I have sound glitches in the game Harvester. Bad results are in DOSBox, Windows XP or Windows XP with VDMSound. Sound setup utility with sound test can run without the game so I attached it if anyone want to test it.

It seems that for most (maybe all?) games is sufficient just to disable "always on top" in right toolbar. If anybody wants to see a demonstration of this Windows "feature", run attached OpenGL demo in fullscreen.

The game should work even if install crashed. Run Laura.bat in the game directory. You can also setup sound with sound.bat.

You can install the game in CVS of DOSBox http://cvscompile.aep-emu.de/dosbox.htm But if you have only the version from rapidshare, it will not run anyway after installation, because it needs CD in drive. You may try to find another version or no-cd patch, then the game should run in DOSBox, but it …
