Huh? I play PC speaker-only games like Dragon Wars and Space Rogue in DOSBOX, and they sound fine (I mean like what they sound through real PC speaker).

Never thought this thread would be that long, but now, for something different.....

Real 'bleeps' (as in from your PC speaker itself) will always sound more authentic - the sound tends to be sharper and cleaner. DOSBOX's PC speaker feels a lot softer and warmer in sound so I can see why he'd prefer the real thing.

Usually you just have to increase the mixing rate in your dosbox.conf

Huh? Last I heard, a lot of newer PCs only had a cheap piezo noisemaker that is supposedly much less capable than the PC speakers of yore. Is that not the case?
