I'm having a hard time getting the sound to function on my Nascar Racing CD. I've ripped it to a bin/cue pair and added it to my dosroot folder (I use DBGL, though I've also tried all of the commands running from plain old DOSBox, just in case the frontend was causing compatibility issues).
After mounting the image, I ran setup.exe from the root directory of the CD. It errors out after switching to "win SETUP.EXE" and says "Illegal command: win". I then tried running setup.exe in D:\NASCAR\setup.exe. It works, though the autodetect of the soundcard doesn't function properly; in the setup program at least the sound is audible, crisp, and generally just fine. When exiting the program, however, it asks if I'd like to save but doesn't actually save anything. Even when I don't have it exit automatically afterwards it doesn't save anything. Running NASCAR.EXE from D:\NASCAR (with or without the -h parameter to enable the SVGA mode) there is never ANY sound whatsoever.
I'm really not sure what the issue is here. The game runs perfectly with the exception of the lack of sound. One hint I found on a Youtube video of gameplay advised me to change the sound emulator to SBPRO2 but that didn't make a difference. I've toyed with the DOSBox settings, alternating between max and auto cycles settings, memsize settings, sound settings, and so on but it has made no difference. At the moment, the only setting that is not the default is the cycles setting, which is set at max.
Any suggestions?
