Have you configured menzo to play sounds? Use sound_pm.exe to configure sound card. watch out for correct port,irq and dma dosbox values (see them in dosbox.conf)

I'm happy you solved your problem but you're not 100% professional :wink: : ideal situation to play old Dos&Win95 games is a "multiboot" system like my old P200MMX (Pure Dos 6.2 or Windows ME). It was a nasty bitch to find working dos drivers for my soundcard (sound blaster pci 128) but now it works …

yeah, it has got a knob (mark: 4KT 425M - Piher Spain) probably for volume control, but I tried it and it seems to change nothing, maybe it's broken. And sound quality is really awful, expecially speech, lot of background static noise (even with his bundle software).

there is an inaccuracy in the gamelist: King's quest 5 also uses DAC, start a game and go 2 or 3 screens to the west (where there are the gypsies) and wait, you'll hear a cow bellow sometimes. Larry 5 & 6 :blush: and Castle of dr.brain work flawless with ps/1 (SN/DAC) apart some subtle dac pitch …

But of course a "hey there's a patch let's put it up" is a quite easy point of view but does not contribute to the quality and maintainability of dosbox. Yeah, right. Take the Mame example. Mame drivers or patches aren't added so easily to official source, same as dosbox. It's cool to add new (and …

Sounds like a shit (it sounds like early 80's arcade voice samples) but it works with it's original software and Intertia player (and other Covox compatible software I hope). But selecting disney sound source with games that supported it, all I can hear is static and garbled noise. Probably a low …

look at qbix answer just a few posts above to see what could make qbix reject a patch. I guess potential to screw working things up or make dosbox too slow is one of the good reasons to reject stuff. That's right. If they reject a patch there is always a good reason. What's the problem? I have 3 …

yeah yeah yeah same problem with alone in the dark 2 and 3... animations are always jerky, and changing the number of cycles doesn't help too much... even with a new and powerful pc you cannot run this trilogy as fine as on a real machine with dosbox unlike other games.

yeah, I know. I'm not a programmer. 😅 I'm using it as is (and I'm quite satisfied), however if someone in the future will continue to work on it, that man would be my hero! 😊
Re: IBM PS/1 Audio Card.

I'm not a programmer or a hardware expert, but maybe those pitch/speed problems due to the fact that the real Ps1 audio card doesn't use real SN/DAC chips but similar and not perfectly compatible with tandy ones used in the emulation. However with this second beta, emulation is awesome: no more …

Here is the Ps/1 motherboard. http://myloch.altervista.org/_altervista_ht/DSCN8605.JPG The sound card was connected to this mobo via one of the two "24 pins". yes, there is a "D" on the soundcard "CR1" component. Hope this can be of some help.

yes this is a mistery. I dunno if it's like Jal said because some games seem correct and I cannot be 100% sure the difference is exactly 1 semitone. In Bushbuck the problem is more evident and it has obviously something wrong. I'm looking for some old tape recordings of Ps/1 songs I made when I was …

Made other tests and I'm pretty sure that SN76496 music generated pitch and speed for Bush Buck are wrong: they should be "pitch +1 st" and "speed +3%". No problems with Prince of persia 1 and 2 (100% correct SN76496 and DAC). Another situation for King's Quest 5 and Silpheed (100% correct SN76496 …
