I haven't tried that port yet, but my guess is that back in the day you had only a Soundblaster or Adlib card and now you have Windows with its better software wavetable MIDI synthesizers. If this is the case then there's no way to hear the music the way it used to sound, unless someone adds an Adlib/OPL emulator to the source port.

Someday DOSBox will support Duke3D and you'll be able to hear it in DOSBox's Adlib emulator.

ok, thanks for the info.
played it a lot on "ye olde soundblasters"

i just finished episode 1 of duke3d and i found a little problem.
sometimes the fire sprites are frozen (not animated) and they are often placed too high. you can see it very good in the level "the abyss" (ep1, last level).

can someone fix this, or is it just my pc? (i think it has nothing to do with my videocard or the resolutions i play in)

i think i will mail jonof about this so he can fix it in later versions of the source port (if he knows the answer and got the time for it),

ps: thumbs up for jonof's duke3d source port

Finished Episode 1,2,3 in Skill4 (Damn, i'm good)
Havent even finished Level 1 in Episode 4 yet.
When i played it, i didn't have that problem although i don't use JonOf's JFDuke3D. I used Duke3d_w32 from rancidmeat (http://www.rancidmeat.com/project.php3?id=1) - I thought it's a pretty good port.

So, if u want u could try that port.

I want the music to sound the same as what it used 2 sound like :p
Ahhhh, the old classics of DOS! - can't resist....

this is a must have for all of you duke nukem fans http://www.planetduke.com/hrp/
