Hi,
I tested TEMU and CVX4, to play games with Tandy / PCJr sound, and this works :
using TEMU 3.03 : just start TEMU /L1 /T44
(for LPT port 1 and 44Khz rate (this is what I tried, maybe less will sound better?))
You can see me setup this and test Tandy 1000TL sound in Thexder 2 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWZwYyIjkZU
Also in codename iceman, using TEMU for PCJr/Tandy 1000 : https://youtu.be/p7xgG5wzlaU
Basically it seems to work in any game where you can choose tandy sound independently of tandy graphics mode (see photo) :
But there's also a COVOX driver for EGA and VGA sierra games : just copy DIGITAL.CFG and DIGITAL.DRV to your game directory.
Then you can select COVOX sound in the sierra installer --> https://youtu.be/jT20jJE-iJg
The sound is lo-fi (especially compared to mod files or this CVX4 sample playback : https://youtu.be/meQ2L5S5ULU), but it works 😀
Then I also tested disney sound source playback, for sound effect. I loaded TEMU first, which seems to help DSS detection in games.
So with TEMU loaded, this works on Wolfenstein 3D https://youtu.be/A5PdhbNMTH4
The covox tools/drivers could be found here : http://nostalgy.net.ru/drivers.shtm
There's also a virtual soundblaster driver, but this only supports sample playback, not FM music.
I attached the drivers I used for these tests.
