Hi. Wing Commander Privateer (absolutely awesome, get it if you don't have it) runs great, except that sometimes during flight, when an enemy speeks, DosBox will freeze up, and a short sound loop of speech will repeat over and over until I force a quit on the program. Task Manager says DosBox is not responding when this happens. This happens rarely, but always happens when the same thing is happening in the game.

Computer:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939 with latest BIOS (F7)
CPU: Athlon 64 3200+ clocked at 2.4ghz
RAM: 768mb (512+256) PC3200 DDR DIMM
Video: Radeon 9600se 128mb DDR
Sound: Sound Blaster PCI 128 CT4750
OS: Windows XP Home 5.1 SP1

Emulator:
Version: DosBox 0.63
Memory: 16mb
Cycles: 18000
CPU core: Normal
Sound: SB16, a220 d1 h5 i7
Video: Resolution is set to "Default" in D-Fend, I suppose it's 320x200. Surface rendering. Normal2x scale.

Thanks!

Hmm, Are you sure that you have the SB settings correct in the setup program for Privateer?

Should be:

Soundblaster 16
Port 220
IRQ 7
Either DMA 1 (low) or 5 (high)

I was sure I had it set that way, but in Privateer setup, the IRQ was set to 5. I set it to 7, and so far haven't had a problem. Thanks! 😁
