Anyways I saw in the Dos box list that the two darksun games were listed as supported and I have been having a heck of a time getting the sound working for the first dsun game.

I am currently on windows 2000 and for other games (eye of the beholder 3) the sound emulation works flawessly when I select it to use two cards (usually adlib/soundblaster I on the default settings) for some reason the first darksun game never seems to find one part of the sound. Does anyone have a trick or something that they could help me with getting the sound going.

Are you choosing the most basic SoundBlaster? SBPro and SB16 won't work in DosBox.

For whatever reason, DarkSun seems to have a problem detecting DosBox 's emulated SoundBlaster. Try the "Media Vision Thunder Board" for sound instead.

When i opened "sound.exe" of my darksun shattered lands emulated game on nokia x6 with cfw v21 that i posted in another site, it sais that soundblaster basic have been detected 😳 ¿so it may be hardware? it worked i can heard sounds but can´t be compared to the pc´s with similar sound.exe settings (in the pc´s *.cfg haven´t specify nothing of sounds settings)

but i know the x6 sound can be better, ¿someidea of how configuring parameters in the *.cfg or something? it sounds like.. too bass, all sounds distorsionated, in the darksun´s main menu too, and superimposed thenselves

Sorry for my english ^^ i´m spanish

Please do not post to 7 year old threads, and please do not ask for help with a Nokia port of DOSBox, as it is not officially supported. You should contact the maintainer of the Nokia port of DOSBox for help.
