So I am yet another newbie whose first post is basically a plead for your help.

I recently dug out my Alone in the Dark CD Trilogy and decided to fire them up in Dosbox, version 0.73. I created isos and everything is working fine. All 3 games play great, no visual issues. The music even plays. I just can't get sound effects. I have tinkered with the sound settings, but to no avail.

Currently my SB settings are:

Address=220
Interrupt=7
DMA=1
High DMA=7
Opl mode=auto
OPL emulation=default
Opl sample rate=44100
Mixer is on

I haven't touched the Gravis Ultra Sound or MIDI settings. I am not sure if this is the information needed, but as I figured most games run fine on SoundBlaster, I stuck with that.

If you need more info, please let me know. Thank you all in advance.

Try disabling GUS and setting High DMA to 5. Don't forget to run the sound setup utility afterwards.

I have looked around the site and the web, and I must confess ignorance regarding the sound setup utility.

I also made those suggested changes, but the sound fx are still not working. Thank you again for your help.

Apologies el_pusher. You obviously meant the game's setup util. Ran it and it solved the problem. Sorry for the obvious question and thanks again!

I'm having the same problem with this one, but the setup util doesn't see my sound card. I only get music.
