Hello everyone, i have been searching the forums for an answer to the question on why everything else in this game (Kings Quest 6) seems to be working fine except for the voices. I found one but did not understand what they were doing, but they said something like there should be a soundsetup.exe but i dont have one. I ran the install.exe and tried all the different audio options but still nothing. If anyone here could help it would be very much appreciated. Also if you dont mind being pretty detailed because im still new with dosbox and this is the first game i was able to get running which took me awhile 😅 . Thank You.

When a game has voices that's a common mistake. I noticed that with Ultima 8. U8's initial floppy release also had no voices. The other common mistake is that people think every NPC had voices when only some special characters had them. At least thats true for u8, don't know about KQ6 😉
