Hi, I have downloaded The Elder Scrolls Arena (freeware) on the official website, which has also a link to DOSBox.

I have followed all the instructions to make it work with DOSBox:

If you are having difficulty with the sound, or Arena fails to start but instead hangs at a black screen, likely you’ll need to match up what the emulator’s sound settings are and Arena’s configuration.

To do this, start the DOSbox emulator. When the emulator window opens, look at the lines of text within the window. One will say similar to:

“Z:\>SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T4”

Except I have exactly : "A220 I7 D1 M5 T6" if that matters.

I have tested all sound cards in game install utility and none of them gave me any sound.

Maybe I need to configure something in the emulator?

My specs:
Windows 7 x64 Pro
Intel Core2Quad Q6600
HD4870 X2 2BG
Creative SB X-Fi Fatality XtremeGamer Sound Card
4GB DDR3

Please help me, I love DOS games but I was never able to get sound from any of them :'(
