Hello, I have these two sound problems in dosbox.

1. Playing a game that uses pc speaker, sound is missing when pressing Alt-F12 for seconds.
2. DOSBox does not play CD tracks in Windows vista.
Windows media player outside dosbox plays the cd tracks.

Are they bugs of dosbox?
I am using vista 6000 and the latest clean cvs build.

Did you turn up CD volume in the mixer and does the computer have that little cable from CD-Drive to sound card?

I ran dosbox.exe as an administrator. (even tried to disable UAC)
I have a laptop, and the mixer shows only volumes for each application, not the other things like cd-audio.

DOSBox does not play CD tracks in Windows vista

No CD-Audio on Vista?

I tested it under Windows XP on the same computer, and it worked fine. Tracks could be played with various media players under vista. I am just wondering if it is caused by SDL or DOSBox. Is there a CD Player program which uses SDL?
