Hi, I'm new of this forum. As the title, in DOSBox when booting Heroes of Might & Magic, sound effects are available, but music is missing. Is not available from the menu until the scenarios. From what you have, and how you can fix the problem? Thanks. 😠

Maybe, just maybe, the mounts are wrong: in several GOG games (I don't have that particular one) the cue/bin pair is hidden as <somename>.gog for the bin and <somename>.inst for the cue. If that game's like that, you're just mounting the bin and need to mount the cue. E.g homm1.inst.

I am using the 2.1.0.38 version.
Music appears to work on the titlescreen just fine. Is there a different place I should check ?
Maybe reinstall the game if the music is missing for you at the titlescreen.

2.1.0.38 is the version of the GOG installer that I am talking about.

If there isn't music for you at the titlescreen, please redownload the game and reinstall it.
If there is music for you at the titlescreen, then please tell me where I should check for the missing music.

Okay, lets come to an agreement what we mean by the different screens:

I have music at this screen:

Are you talking about this screen ?
Or a different one ?

I saw the topic, which covers the advanced compiler optimizations, but it has not linked to my problem, though just where I can get what paragraph and page, he speaks of this similar issue in this question? Sorry for my ignorance, but I cannot understand the idea.
