Hello, I've been trying to setup Q2DOS in DosBOX 0.74.3.0

So far I managed to make the game run pretty well, however there is no audio whatsoever, if anyone can shed a light on the subject I'd appreciate it.

I'm running the latest Q2DOS and my (physical) audio card is a SoundBlaster Live! (SB0010)
When I run the game the console says sound is UltraSound, even though SoundBLaster 16 is configured in DosBOX.

I also tried running with -sndpci argument as stated in the readme, to no avail

Hello.

Why would you want to run Quake 2 with that DOS source port when there much better ones outside of DOS?

Nevertheless, there is a command line swtich called -nogus for that purpose and the alternate way of doing this is removing temporarily the ULTRASND environment variable.

The "native" PCI drivers doen't work in DOSBox because that isn't emulated.
