for music you have to choose the sound device in the install of Ultima6.
For sound effects you are screwed as ultima6 only uses pc-speakers. Only workaround is to use Dosbox.

Why doesn't Vlad implement pc-speaker emulation in Vdms? (I know he stated his reasons ages ago but I forgot).

For the same reason you don't put a steam engine in a 1966 Mustang. VDMSound is a soundcard emulator. Using a PC speaker for sound is nothing like using a soundcard. Basically, he would have to write a separate program just for speaker audio.

Since Ultima 6 runs insanely fast on modern PC's, the best bet is to use DosBox, choose AdLib audio, and use it's ability to slow down the program to just a few cycles.

CTRL-Z turns sounds ON/OFF. I spent 3 hours before I realized this. If the sound(music) stops right after the intro, try CTRL-Z.
