Gravis is disabled by default on DOSBox 0.73 (don't ask me why). To change the config file, there's a shortcut in the start menu. To fix it, edit the config file and set "gus=true" rather than the default "gus=false".

I deleted the shortcut on the start menu. Is there a copy I can get that I can use from the directory dosbox is set up in. I'm trying to get pro audio spectrum for sound effects with gravis ultrasound for music. I get an error currently when I use gravis ultrasound and pro audio spectrum doesn't work either. I really like this version of dosbox. Keep up the good work.

The easiest is just to reinstall DOSBox, which will restore the shortcut.

I got the conf file. It now lets me use gravis ultrasound for sound effects but still not music. I'm trying to get pro audio spectrum for sound effects and gravis ultrasound for music. For the Pro audio spectrum it says I'm missing a mvsound.sys and I just get something that says muic error for gravis ultrasound. Thanks for your help so far.

You probably need the GUS patches somewhere, and possibly load ULTRAMID. Have you got a patch set loaded and pointed the ULTRASND variable to it?

How would I do that? I don't see a file called ultramid in the game directory.

Hence "possibly". Wacky Wheels doesn't seem to need it. So make sure you have a patch set. Normally you would place it so that it is at C:\ULTRASND\MIDI in your mounted drive. (The default value of the ULTRASND variable points to that location). As for getting that patch set, I think Googling for "pro patches lite" will find a good one.

You can get the patches here: Install Gravis Ultrasound Properly, All files, No Errors (With Pictures!) 😉
