Hi, I recently downloaded DOSbox 0.74 to try and run my old DOOM games on my Pc (running windows xp), which worked fine, BUT now my sound is all messed up when using Windows Media or Youtube. Half the sound appears to be there but half is super quiet i.e the singing, it seems like I lost a channel ? Does anyone reading this know what my problems is, ( beside being a bit dim..) thanks, steve.

As Dominus suggests, setting the sound in your emulated game doesn't affect the sound in Windows (just how loud Dosbox tries to play it). Even windows XP has a channel test built in, so try that. An example of walking through a sound diagnostic is here : http://www.pcauthorities.com/windows-xp/how-t … s-in-windows-xp
