I took a quick look over the forums, and haven't seen a topic like this. If there is one I'm sorry.

I've recently tried dosbox, and it worked quite well. Although just recently the sound has gone. Whenever I try a game, any game, it won't have any sound whatsoever.

I've tried

1) reinstalling dosbox
2) reinstalling the game(s)
3) checking my sound (everything but dosbox has sound)

My CPU usage isn't too high either

Does anyone know if I accidentally hit some sort of key which disabled sound?

Thanks for the help

Summary:

Everything used to work fine, then one day the sound wouldn't work anymore. I have a fast comp and my cpu usage isn't very high.

Also I RealTek AC'97 sound

The one million dollar question...

Does sound work outside DOSBox, that is, using windows alone (wmp, winamp, etc)?

Check Hardware Manager too, to see if there exist some yellow exclamation marks somewhere.

Nevermind, the problem mysteriously dissappeared.

And yes, el pusher, sound worked for everything else, only dosbox failed to have sound. For some odd reason the sound came back. I'm not complaining though
