I searched all over before making this post...The posts I found were folks who were pretty much not installing the right drivers. My problem's a little different.
I pulled my old hard drive and copied my old Windows 3.1 files into my new PC, and configured it using DosBox, loading the proper Display and Audio drivers. It works very well except for the sound. The drivers loaded properly (I was sure to change the Irq from 5 to 7), and when I booted up Windows 3.1, Windows greeted me by saying it created a new Program Group, which was the SB suite of applications. However, when I go to play a .WAV or a .MID file, I get an error. The error varies a little depending on what I'm using to play the sound with, but the gist is that Windows thinks the file's in use (which it's not) and I need to wait for it to no longer be used, or that it can't play the file and gives me a list of suggestions (make sure the file exists and is a wave file, make sure the sound device is not already being used, make sure enough memory is available). Of course, none of those is the problem.
I'm using DosBox 0.74 and Windows 10. I hope this can be resolved. It's such a trip seeing Windows 3.1 how I left it so many years ago! I'd love it to be back to fully functional!
Thanks for any help!
Just this guy, y'know?
