im also the anonymous fellow who asked about dual monitor stretching. I hope that topic is one that other users might be curious about. I made my own search on the topics but couldn't find any mention of them. I can use midi and sounblaster for speech/fx, but then the sfx are wrong. I think vdmsound would do it; could one use dosbox and vdmsound together and is that recommended or not. Thanks! 🤑

It makes no sense. DOSBOX is NOT DOS program itself !!! So it is not influenced by VDMsound in any way...

I am not sure I understand your Ultima 7 question: try all the option in game's setup and all cfg in DOSBOX.CONF. That's all you can do.
BTW: MIDI is being used only if you use General MIDI/MPU-401/MT-32/... in any game. Normal SB is just that - normal SB.
This is a general advice, I do not remember options for Ultima 7.

Yes it is possible and it's very easy. Just choose soundblaster for the music/sfx card. It's the only choice you get when you choose soundblaster/sbpro/adlib. IF you choose roland midi device for music then you'll get asked for a soundblaster card for speech effects. Each of the choices works very well for me and there's no problems that I can see.
