Hello!
Recently I try to play DoTT. In Windows 98. Ugh! Problems too many to describe. I abandon that idea. Than I use Dosbox 0.65. Yes! All is runnning good, but... where is the sound?! I see only subtitles and midi. %( Than I try to fiddle with DosBox.conf, but only result was - I discover bug with midi emulation. But this is another story. 😀
Finally, I decide to use _old_ version of DosBox. 0.63. (And save conf, just in case, in the another place). Yes! It works!!!
Hmmm. Use old Dosbox only for DoTT? 🙁 I don't want that! So I reinstall 0.65 in the another dir. And, just in case, run DoTT in it. It works too! %)
On that time I understand, that problem in the old conf file. And when I return my _old_ file, sound disappears, indeed.
Than I begin process of comparing "my" and "clear" configs. And so I discover _true_ reason for sound's absent. It was simple, but strange:
There is speed! %)
When Dosbox have any value below 15000 cycles - it's allright. When Dosbox have 20000 cycles (my default) - sound in DoTT not initializes at all. But not midi - midi works good always.
P.S. I am Russian - sorry for bad English
