Hi,
I'm running above mentioned game on DosBox 0.74 and I'm experiencing weird popping sounds in the beginning of some sound effects, especially when using a weapon. There's a video on youtube here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxSbetnaD0A where a guy complains about the same very thing and you can hear the popping in the video to get an idea what it sounds like. I tried using more CPU cycles and it got rid of most audio lag / distortion problems but the popping sound remained. Is this perhaps a game specific problem or perhaps something that can be affected by changing DosBox's settings? Thanks in advance.
Here's the system jazz:
OS: Windows 7 Professoinal 64-bit
CPU: Intel Core i7 3930K (6 cores @ 3,2Ghz)
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz CL9
GPU: Radeon HD 6950 2GB
MB: Asus P9X79
DosBox version 0.74
Elder Scrolls Arena (CD) version 1.07
I'm not sure what the video and audio mode required in the posting instructions mean but here's what's in the config file I hope it tells you enough information
sbtype=sb16
sbbase=220
irq=7
dma=1
hdma=5
sbmixer=true
oplmode=auto
oplemu=default
oplrate=22050
language=
