uhm try playing with the sample rate
try 44100 and 48000

Well, the sound sounds just a little prettier but the horrible thumping noise is still there. It is definitely related to sound samples, as it happens whenever a sound effect (or, at the beginning, the really nice violin music is a wave file, and it also gets the thump treatment at the beginning) is played. I also tried adding extra prebuffer and fiddling with the blocksize, nothing. Any other suggestions? It's as if I'm hearing the sound re-initializing itself over and over and over again.

Maybe you should try selecting a different wave audio device for GK1 in the game setup.

Cool, thanks - now it's working almost perfectly, the odd speck in the sound, but good. There is an occasional tiny stutter, will pumping up the cpu cycles further correct this, or would I do well to fiddle with the buffering/blocksize/etc settings in DosBox?

Which sound card was the noisy one. And which one is ok?

Soundblaster was the crappy one, Thunderboard (I believe a SB clone) worked.

i put it...and sounds very old FM Synthesis...then i go to INSTALL.EXE and set the option that say "restart default config from Sierra..." and the sounds enhanced with better MIDI instrumment mapping....

c:\GKCD>Install.exe....

- If you choose Music as Soundblaster Pro sounds like oldiest Indiana Jones music....if you want more quality on music ....choose General MIDI sound Driver...
