I noticed that when I play Ultima Underworld (the first one) it somehow alters DosBox's sound volumes. Sound Blaster is set to 55, while other audio devices stay where they are. No wonder the music was always overpowering the sound effects!

Now, I have two questions about this: How is the game doing such a thing, and more importantly, can I prevent this from happening when I run the game in any way? There are no volume settings anywhere within the game itself or its setup program that I can see. I am using DosBox version 0.74.

Most likely it is using the SoundBlaster mixer, which is linked to the DOSBox mixer by default. Try setting sbmixer=false in the DOSBox config.

That worked. Thank you!
