i've been trying to get blood to run with dosbox because it runs pretty crummy in windows. after about an hour figuring out how to mount things correctly and get it set up....I try to run it and I get this error message
" src\sound.cpp(378) : Playback failed, possibly due to an invalid or conflicting IRQ "
I know absolutely nothing about any of that jargan, but I really want to play my fave dos game. please help

Run the Blood setup program. For SFX use SoundBlaster 16 with Port 220, IRQ 7 and DMA 1 or 5.
For Music use General MIDI at port 330.

I've had soundblaster as my sfx card...and general midi with 330. but I don't know how to configure those other things. such as port 220 for soundblaster the IRQ or this DMA thing
