Hi! I have installed a copy of Peter Turcan's Dreadnoughts game from 1992, - i however cannot get the sound to work - it asks in the main screen at the start if i have SB, SB Pro or neither and I select for SB and it just says sound card: none and the game plays with no sound.

In the readme there is some instruction on sound troubleshooting but i cant understand it - it says i should have and autoexec.bat file but there is no such file in the game folder, i just run it from dnoughts.exe

this is what the readme says and i wonder if it may hold the answer, but the changes needed i do not understand - and also am not sure where i would find another CT-VOICE.DRV file

or if i need to change somethingi n the config for dosbox for getting workspace out the 640k limit

here is the readme info text:

" DREADNOUGHTS produces sound output compatible with Creative
Lab's SoundBlaster and SoundBlaster Pro cards. If one of these
cards is not present then there is no sound output.

Ensure that the instructions for setting up the
SoundBlaster environment have been followed correctly.
In particular, the statement:

SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T1 (for SoundBlaster)
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T2 (for SoundBlaster Pro) or
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T3 (for SoundBlaster 2.0)

should be in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file (note there are no spaces
either side of the = sign).

Also, if your sound board is not immediately recognised by
the program then copy the CT-VOICE.DRV file from your existing
sound directory to the Dreadnoughts directory (and so overwriting
the CT-VOICE.DRV supplied with Dreadnoughts).
*
In order to run the sound effects workspace is required
outside the DOS 640K limit. It is searched for in the order
Extended Memory, Expanded Memory, and finally Hard Disk. It is
therefore recommended that the game is installed on a hard disk,
and/or has at least 200K of Extended or Expanded Memory
available.

If this extra memory is not found then the sound effects
will not work properly.

To install Dreadnoughts on a hard disk, simply copy the
entire floppy disk to an appropriately named directory."
