Hi there.
I got a little problem with the DOSBox.
In my opinion the program is a litte bit too restrictive concerning the audio playback, otherwise being a wounderfull and unbeatable way to replay dear old DOS games.
But the fact is, it seems to me, that I don’t have the choice to tell an old game, how to play the sound.
DOSBox seems to override any input by the sound setup of the game I want to play.
In the DOS era, the game was installed and then the sound device was chosen. In many newer DOS games you had to chose two different “Sounddevices”, one to play the music and the other one to play the effects and speech. This, in fact, is still done in DOSBox, when you install a DOS game.
Now my problem is, that in some games, I intended to record just the background music for I liked it most, which doesn’t seem to be possible. If make my settings in the sound setup of the game and tell it not to play the effects and start the game, I always got the effects anyway.
Since now, I haven’t found a way to tell DOS Box, that only the settings I have made in the game’s sound setup itself are to be taken, no matter what DOSBox ‘thinks’ it should do.
Can anybody help?
