Warlords 2 supports sound and midi but I can't change the volume.

The music's too loud and I hear barely sounds.

I noted that dosbox 0.74 supports sb mixer but I don't have one.

I don't think this must be a real one. Have you ever seen a SoundBlaster card built into a Macintosh (refering to Mac version of DOSBox with this comment) ?

Why don't you adjust this with your hosts mixer? Midi volume and wave volume (or what it's called) in the Windows sound mixer (if you are on windows).
Then there is thebuilt in mixer of dosbox, see the manual

DOSBox doesn't influence the volume values in MIDI events, so if the game doesn't have it's own MIDI volume control then you can only change volume external to DOSBox (i.e. on the synth device or host volume control).

If the SB sound seems unusually low in any game that does not have its own volume control then try the sbmixer=false setting.
