What program did you use to make the iso?

If you mount the iso using Daemon Tools or some other program, does it play normally in Windows?

What program are you using to play the CD music in DOSBox?

I made the iso with ImgBurn, as usual, the music plays normally with any program off the iso when I mount it with MagicISO.

I dunno about your third question... I just launch Quake or Shadow Warrior and the cd music sounds horrible in DOSBox...

Try SJGPlay from http://www.6502.org/users/sjgray/software/sjg … jgplay_dos.html , and see if that sounds any better.

Yeah, it does that also with this program.

What if you turn down the volume (using [ and ] ) ?

It's the same, it isn't a volume issue, it's like the farting noise is in the audio tracks themselves...

Try -ioctl with the iso mount command , core=dynamic, cycles max..

Have you done anything to your DOSBox config that might have changed the sampling rate?

If I'm not mistaken, "ioctl" only works when mounting CD-ROMs and not when using imgmount.

You are correct, my bad.

mount D M:\ -ioctl -t cdrom ?

Yup try it..
wiki

Still nothing…

Maybe some background helps:
- which version of Dosbox? Try 0.74 first and then a straight SVN built
- which OS is this on?

Can you use imgmount instead of going through daemon tools?

I tried with both the original 0.74 and SVN Daum (which is the one I usually use due to the resizable window), I also tried with DOSBox-X.
My OS is Windows 7 x64 Ultimate Edition.

Needless to say, this is not a problem anyone else seems to have.

Perhaps you have something running in Windows that does some sort of post-processing on your audio? Does it make a difference if you use speakers or headphones to listen?

At this point I might be inclined to suggest booting up with a live Linux distribution and see if the problem remains with the Linux version of DOSBox.

Does the original CD work? If yes, the ISO you made is somehow corrupted. Also, did you actually create an ISO or a BIN/CUE?

And you haven't yet answered whether you have tried imgmount in Dosbox. And please try a plain vanilla Dosbox SVN built. Daum und -x are not something you can compare normal Dosbox with anymore.

And please tell us which game you have this problem with
(Edit:sorry, I quickly looked over it and missed that you did tell us)

Another idea, more of a workaround really: Did you try to rip the CD audio to ogg files and play the game(s) with those instead of cd audio?

About ripping the CD audio into .ogg files there's no problem, but how would I make them be recognized by the game as a "cd audio" ? I mean, how do I put them together ?

And yes, I tried with "vanilla" DOSBox aswell other than Daum and X.

Anyway, if it might be interesting, yesterday I tried that same CD audio into my real DOS PC on the Intel Celeron and it worked, so the CD isn't corrupted, by the way that CD audio is Cold Shadow's CD... yeah, exactly... since it has CD music, it works as a CD audio and since I love Cold Shadow's OST, I wanted to play the games that use CD audio with it (well... I do play them with Rayman's CD, as much as it's weird to listen to "happy cartoony tunes" while slicing Zilla fellows in Shadow Warrior I found that Rayman's music fits any game 🤣 )

Yeah... I've always loved to mix games with other games' CDs to get weird combinations 🤣

By the way, I made an ISO image out of it, not a bin/cue, I'll try to rip it again but making it into a bin/cue, perhaps ISO has some weird reaction with CDs audio ?
