I get "You must run SBFMDRV.Com before using this program" and "CTVoice.drv not found in directory" when playing Gold Runner Shareware) with sound.

Gold Runner can run on Dosbox without sound but it's dull playing it.

The game came from A CD shareware collection.

You've tried the hint the game gave to you?

I first thought somehow Dosbox would included those files but it isn't

Thanks for the tip. I found the files from the internet.

Yeah
some games are so lamely programmed they depend on a Creative TSR that ships with Sound Blaster to playback CMFs

From my point of view, I had expected the file in request is included in the games package.

Creative Labs also known for charging software Developers.

Quoted from FastTracker-2

Creative Labs:
Why don't you support the developers of sound software instead of charging them for "The developer kit"? (Which of course sucks!)

/Triton productions

Probably the files weren't included to avoid Creative's demands of monetary shares.

Why some games like Jill of the Jungle can play song and sound without need those commands?

cause some games don't use those drivers.
and they cannot be included in game as every card has different drivers.
diablo 3 won't include geforce drivers too

I see. Companies make their own drivers to work with their games.
