Hello, I have recently purchased magic carpet 2 and have been eager to play it. I loved the first one and thought I'd give its sequel a try.

Anyway, my problem is this. No matter which driver I select in the NWSETUP file that came with the game, I can't seem to get the sound to work at all. Through dosbox I am able to get the game to run almost perfectly; no slowdown and its not too fast, but so far no luck at all getting any sound.

What confuses me is that the setup file that came with the game claims that the drivers I select have been detected and that everything should work correctly. I honestly have drawn an absolute blank, so if anyone could help me in any way, I would be grateful. Thanks.

Check if the IRQs you selected in Magic Carpet's setup match the ones you configured in DosBox, use DosBox 0.74, I *think* DosBox sets by default IRQ 7 for Sound Blaster and I *believe* by the time Magic Carpet was released, most games defaulted to IRQ 5.
So...there, I hope that helps
