Simple: don't use gus.

Okay, cool.

The game is running now, but it seems that when I use sound blaster for sound emulation there's sound when I test it, but not during the game...

At least the game runs now.

Lei, feel free to make a list (or continue one of the postings on the beta
board) about games that don't work with gus 😀

[MOVED]. Assuming you are using DOSBox.

Well, here's my fifty cents 🙄

Set GUS=false in your DOSBox conf.

Hi!

This is an old thread, but I am having the same issue. There is no sound when I play this game. (I have tried Sound Blaster and Sound Blaster Pro.) Neither in the game nor in the setup.

Any idea?

have you set
gus=false
in your DOSBox configuration?

gus=false is already set...

Then post at least SOME relevant information, otherwise it's just guessing.

try fixed cycles

Ok, I found the problem.

Thanks for your help you guys.

I should have mentioned before that I was using DOSBox from PortableApps.com

When launching DOSBox using their launcher (DOSBoxPortable.exe), there is no sound. But when it is launched directly, everything is flawless. (In both cases, Soundblaster is detected.)

Thanks again and very sorry for wasting your time 🙁

I will report a bug to PortableApps...

If they are using ANYTHING different than the official release and a default
dosbox config file, they shall post here why they are doing that.

WD how about making a separate download with dosboxportable on dosbox.com so that people don't have to get it from freaky sites (with freaky config), as it gains popularity since dosbox 0.73 appeared.

I don't see the need for a dosboxportable because dosbox is already fully
portable in that you can just copy the dosbox.exe+config file around as you wish.

It's the third time this comes up. Maybe you (Dosbox devs) should contact them and ask them what is up. As far as I understood from the other threads they are at least NOT using the default config because of how they manage the path to the portable device. Most likely their DOSBox binary is not the official version as well.

Well they're free to do what they like 😀 They just have to provide support for
it on their own if they do and people come here with issues.

That is not enough. You also have to add mount c .\folder in dosbox.conf and create a folder in dosbox folder. Also dosbox.conf is in hidden folder.

Yeah that sounds like a lot of work.

Also dosbox.conf is in hidden folder.

That's why you can create your own easily.

But admittedly an independent unrelated release of exactly the same thing
plus the above things surely makes it unbelievably easier.

You don't even need to use gus=false. As far as I know, you'd only have to do that for Quake.

Amulets & Armor uses the HMI Sound System libraries and you can reconfigure the sound device easily by SETSOUND.

Running SETSOUND and choosing Sound Blaster 16 or Pro will solve this problem (one of these has compatibility problems with the game strangely)

PortableApps(dawt com!!) is a self-promotional joke.
