It's been more than a decade since I played UW2 on a 486DX/33 with SBPro2.
I can't recall whether the game includes speech (voices) or not.
However, recently I got DOSBox 0.65 and now re-running UW2 (I only got to start but didn't finish the game before...).
Music works in the game (I believe the installation utility calls this as "synthesized sound").
Sounds ("digitized sounds") also seems to work, but they sound quite soft and barely audible when I choose "Sound Blaster Pro" in the configuration (UINSTALL.EXE or UWSOUND.EXE); choosing "Sound Blaster" seems to make the sound louder. (I think it might be that UW2 can control the volume settings of a real SBPro, however, it might not be able to control the volume settings of an emulated SBPro/SB16 under DOSBox).
Anyway, that's not the main problem. As I mentioned while trying this game under DOSBox, I encounter some areas where I think there might have been voices/speech (eg. the Guardian talking)... however, there's not voices while playing this game under DOSBox.
Is this a "not-yet-implemented" feature of DOSBox with regards to UW2's speech? Or have I just forgotten that UW2 doesn't offer any speech at all?
