Hello there ladies and gents. I've searched the forums for this problem and haven't found anything. The problem with the game is pasted below. Hopefully I've followed forum guidelines; if not, I await the flaming.

I would be forever indebted to you if you could solve this problem! This game is a masterpiece of gameplay.

# Description of problem (be detailed: saying "it's jerky" doesn't help, saying "the player sprites seem to be jerky when I'm pressing any of the arrow keys" does)

Despite going through the game's set-up and affirming that I can hear all of the test sounds, only sound effects can be heard in the game. The "main" sound track (i.e. character's voices and any cutscene videos) do not appear or cannot be heard; instead, there are intermittant pops and whistles through the speakers. I do not think that my speakers are to blame and the relevant drivers are up-to-date.

# Reproducibility of problem (always, only once, always but only on a specific level, etc.)

Always

# Sound mode used

Not quite sure how to answer this! It's the "standard" sound of the game which is missing; in that sense, I have not selected a mode.

# Video mode (Software, OpenGL, Direct3D, or Glide, and resolution)

Playing it in DosBox 0.73. Video is fine in both windowed and expanded modes.

# Version of emulator (for VDMSound, probably 2.0.4 or 2.1.0; for DOSBox, 0.58+)

DosBox 0.73. NB. VDMSound doesn't solve this problem, either.
