I cannot get the sound working with Charly the Clown shareware. Neither v1.20 nor v1.30 play any sound or music, either with automatic sound card detection or manual setup.

Upon startup, there's a clicking sound suggesting that the sound card is initialised, but then no sound is played throughout the game. Upon exit, there are some sounds audible that might come from the emulated PC speaker and might be some kind of error sound.

I have tried using loadfix before running the game. Loadfix does not seem to affect performance in any way, but there is still no sound.

Changing the settings to only play sound effects does not do anything. Changing sound card type also seems not to improve the situation.

I have tried running the game with regular v0.74, SVN build from June 6, 2015, and SVN Daum build from November 16, 2013. The result is always the same: the game is playable but there is no sound no matter what.
