You could put the CD in to a "Hi-Fi" CD player, and see if it plays music when you select track number 2.

you really don't want to use the cd audio tracks for the game. They're noisy terrible renders that seem like an afterthought that probably doesn't even sound as intended by the musician.

retro games 100,
The HiFi plays the audio tracks correctly. So it is a mixed mode CD after all...
Now I have set up an image for DosBox (cue/bin format) by its "imgmount" command. Still I have no CD audio (unless one of the "soundcard" options in the setup means CD audio but I think it is pretty straightforward, only FM and MIDI appears.

leileilol,
I don't think the CD audio sounds worse than the MIDI tracks - but perhaps you have better MIDI equipment than mine and the difference is greater.

Do you have a pc with XP or newer OS on it? If you do, then just download this game free from GOG and play it on your newer machine. No need to fiddle around with it in DOS.

I would like to play it on my retro PC (the one below, on my signature).
Does the GoG version plays the audio tracks converted to mp3, ogg, etc.. ?

No.

The game never had redbook playback functionality. It's OPL2, GM or nothing.

( I prefer OPL2...)

Thanks leileilol!

You spared me from more futile experiments.

It was the readme files that mislead me (both of version 1.0 and version 3.0) - they claim that a PC can play the redbook audio etc... I interpreted that as "when playing the game, controlled / launched by Tyrian.exe". To increase the confusion, the publisher also stated that the soundtrack is available on a separate audio CD as well...

I have a billing program written in DOS,
Hoever, every time we try to print our statements
The DOSBOX application just disappears, and
logs off the screen. Can anyone. Help.
We are running Windows XP, dell optiplex 260,
3 gig of ram.

O' We have DOSBOX ..74

well that's too bad. Dosbox is for games. It is not intended for business and IT crap.
Deal with the billing in something else like a supported professional virtual machine, such as VirtualBox and VMWare. Relying on a emulator for games to do your financial deeds is foolish at best.

And don't freaking hijack a topic. You didn't make a spectactular first impression by IT software complaining but you have to derail a game topic too that doesn't even have anything to do with dosbox!?

Wow, it tech rant and derailing a game topic...
