Ok, if you've read any of the previous posts, you know that there's a project to make a port for Ultima 8 here:
http://pentagram.sf.net

But it's nowhere near a playable state right now.

You're using the patch from here:

According to psz, speech won't work properly. According to Dominus, no sound will work properly at all on an NT OS.

If you had a Win9x/XP dual-boot setup, you could probably run it properly on the Win9x side.

U8Patch + VDMSound == Sound/Music/ REALLY screwed up speech( Turn it off )!

This isn't just from me, it's from quite a few fellow Ultima Dragons! 😄

Dom, TRY HARDER! :->

huh? Why try harder? (if you meant me)
So far it is Ultima 8 + patch + any way to emulate sound on NT based systems = bad sfx and speech. Music plays fine actually.
Yeah, and turning off sfx and speech is the only way to go.

This is why I continue to be an advocate of the Win9x/XP dual-boot setup. As I understand it, this patch works pretty well on the Win9x side.

Try Dosbox 0.62 with the cpu core emulation set to dynamic
