I can't get SB/Adlib to work in DOSBox for Maddog Williams.
I haven't touched anything in any of the sound sections of the conf file except changing the buffer from 1024 > 2048.
I also tried 512 but it didn't help.

Any ideas?

PC Speaker works fine though, but it sounds horrible.

It seems you have to load the AdLib sound driver (SOUND.COM), in case you aren't already doing that.

FYI, the game is available from the developer's website, bundled with with DOSBox 0.74 and pre-configured with working sound:

You mean:

1@echo off
2mount c ".."
3c:
4cls
5SOUND.COM
6GAME.EXE
7exit

Yes, but the game executable is named MDWVGA.EXE, not GAME.EXE, in the developer's package. If what you have isn't working for some reason, I suggest you try the one from the developer, because AdLib music is definitely working there.

Heh, I know that. 😀 I just didn't know the name at that exact moment, so I just wrote something. 😜
I got it to work now, thanks. 😀
