(DosBox 0.61, cycles 6000, memsize 64, WinXP, P4 2.8. Audigy 2). Prisoner of Ice (a protected mode game) does not detect the soundcard (default Soundblaster config). It runs OK, but with no sound. I run the configuration program (ice256 -config) and it seems to work, but when I start the game, the sound option is greyed. (Exactly the same happens without an emulator, too.) Has anyone found a solution?

I use the Underdogs version (CD-rip).
It seems there is no way to overcome this problem with the current DOSBox version...
By the way, some other protected mode games (Chronomaster, for example), although they play correctly, suffer from sound stuttering at times (that is, during one session the sound is OK and during the next -with no change in settings- it stutters). I managed to solve this problem in Chronomaster by continuously substituting the 3 DLLs responsible for sound with the original ones!!! (It seems they somehow get corrupted during gameplay!)
