Does the game have a setup menu or program that lets you adjust this? Most Epic games do, IIRC.

This one does not. I checked the SETUP.EXE again; it has support for Gravis Ultrasound with 16-bit audio, which I will try next. Also includes Sound Blaster, all flavors, but only 8 bit (mono and stereo).

There is no "swap stereo channels" ; you're thinking of the later software like Duke Nukem 3D and Blood that use DOS4GW. I know with 99% certainty that *those* games supported swapping the stereo channels from SETUP.

Aha!! Gravis Ultrasound has correct panning, but I notice that the music is substantially slower in tempo by about 10%. Strangely, though, the pitch is unchanged. This must be a bug in Epic's drivers.

Sorry I forget to keep signing my posts. Just wanted to say one more thing:

Thanks to the author for writing such good Ultrasound drivers! DOSBox hasn't been this smooth since I started using it.

Anther note: to be honest, the whole game just feels "slower." The music is essentially MOD files: the pitch of the individual samples doesn't change, but the tempo could certainly be affected by a lower clock speed. I tried adjusting the CPU up and down from 500 to 20,000 cycles with no effect on tempo. On my setup (P4 @ 3.2GHz) I estimate that range to be between 2Mhz and 80Mhz.

Also, the levels are at times overdriven, causing crackling in the speakers. This could be Epic's fault, though.

Still, despite these minor flaws, DOSBOX ROX!! 😀

The problem with the left/right panning is because Creative didn't really make a left/right standard for Soundblaster PRO. Quite annoying. Some Soundblaster PRO have it one way, and other PRO cards have it the other way. Another reason why Soundblaster16 is better.

Soundblaster 16 emulates Soundblaster Pro in a mono mode. I wouldn't call it better 😉

True 😀 What I meant is that most stereo games have support for Soundblaster PRO and Soundblaster 16, so by picking Soundblaster 16 (and having a SB16 compatible card) one is sure to get the right left/right speaker sound.
