Hello Everyone,
I've recently installed DosBox 0.74 on Arch-Linux on my new Dell XPS 13. I use DosBox to play a lot of old school games (Doom, Commander Keen, etc.). I have installed it in the past on several different Windows Versions and MacOS without any issues. However, under Linux I am getting the following issue:
Issue:
It appears that sometimes I get a static sound coming from my speakers when playing most of my DOS games. Running DosBox in the terminal (command line), I get the following output:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[aahmad@aahmad-pc .dosbox]$ dosbox
DOSBox version 0.74

CONFIG:Loading primary settings from config file /home/aahmad/.dosbox/dosbox-0.74.conf
MIXER:Got different values from SDL: freq 44100, blocksize 512
ALSA:Can't subscribe to MIDI port (65:0) nor (17:0)
MIDI:Opened device:none
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am not sure if this explains why I am experiencing static in most of the games that I play, but wanted to include all the information. Does anyone have any ideas on how to 'clean up' my sound, and have all the games sounding perfectly during gameplay?
Thanks in advance for everyone's time and help, it is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Ace
