When I run blood 1 i get an "error":

14 memory used.

LOW MEMORY WARNING: Blood requires 23mb o free space memory
You may experience problems when runing Blood with low memory

Press a key to enter Blood...

And when I start the game there is no music. It's pretty strange because on setup everything works fine. I have much free space on hard disk too...
What could be the solution of this problem?

EDIT:
DOSbox 0.72

I believe DOSBox starts out with a default of 16 MB of memory. Change it in the DOSBox config file using Notepad.

Check the result with the MEM command inside DOSBox.

Ok, I changed memory size but there is still no music. I've checked setup few times and everything is ok there 🙁

How did you configure the sound then?

SoundFX:
Sound Blaster or Compatible, 0x220, irq 7, 8bit-dma 1, 16bit-dma 5, 32 voices, 16 bit mixing, stereo sound, 11 khz

Music:
Sound Blaster

I can hear test sound effects and test music but the latter isn't playing in the game.

did you mount your cdrom with the right flags ? Thought it had cdaudio.

If you mean this:
mount f f:\ -t cdrom -ioctl -usecd 0
yes, i mounted it.

Try mount d f:\ ...
or, if that doesn't work, reinstall the game while sticking to one mount configuration.

If you are running Vista, you might try mounting your cdrom using the -noioctl flag.

Also, if you run the game with no cd, it should still have background music, it just plays the cd audio if the cd is present.

It has both CD audio and MIDI audio, and the tracks are not identical.

Well, I just took a look at this and found that if I set music to soundblaster, I got no music in game. If you set music to general MIDI, it should work.

You should probably not use the Sound Blaster Clone type and select Sound Blaster 16 for sound effects then pick the same for MIDI.

Are you playing from a mounted image (Daemon Tools) by any chance? If that's the case, try mounting the image with DOSBox' "imgmount" command.

Everything's fine now. I wrote -nocd command.

Are you using a real cd, some externally-mounted image or the imgmount command?
