Jangle - old DOS demo

When I try to run this DOS demo from the early nineties in DOSBox, the program tells me "Sorry, this demo needs a soundblaster to run." or something along those lines.

Apparently, Jangle is not detecting the sound hardware that DOSBox emulates.

Is there anything I can do about this?

Addition:

I already tried several SB settings in the config file. It didn't make a diffference.

This demo used to run just fine using an SB16 back in the old days when I still had the appropriate hardware.

did you try higher/lower amount of cycles and or changing the irq (try 5)

Yes I tried irq 5. Adjusting the cycles didn't make any difference.

Since you're a DOSBox author... how about if I send you the file so you can figure out why it's not detecting the SB?
