I am back with a new problem. Namely that I can't seem to get sound on many games running in DOSBox. Sometimes I get certain sounds but not others. I get no sound for Monkey Island, Geisha or Syndicate. I have full sound on Wolf 3D but then on Prince of Persia I get the beginning of level music but no SFX and on Day of the Tentacle I loose sound too. Most notably in the intro when the bird chokes on the toxic air. I have the dialouge and the music but no bird cough.

Does anyone know what might be wrong? If so please post your suggestions. I remember reading about some problems with MIDI SFX but I was too preoccupied at the time (with just getting the programs running on a Japanese machine) to pay proper attention to what they said and now I can't find the posts.

Thanks again to Snover, Xanderman and Qbix for all the help last time.

I don't know what may be causing the problems you describe but for Monkey Island you need to pass the appropiate sound parameter on command line. For Adlib it should be monkey.exe a; s for soundblaster and so on. Execute monkey.exe ? for a list of available options.

Oh, the sound appears to work on Monkey Island now but only the music. SFX work occasionally but sound broken. Also the music stutters but I suppose that is just the frame skip. Thank you eL_PuSHeR. I will keep on trying to work this out and post here if I discover what is wrong. Still welcoming any suggestions though.
