Hello everybody,

when I start a game in DOSbox everything runs smoothly, the games start up and the title screen appears and I can move the mouse cursor. But as soon as I click the game and the sound freeze completely. as soon as I alt-tab out of the window the sound continues but whenever I switch back by clicking or alt-tabbing the sound and game freezes again.
After trying alt-tabbing forever I managed to make it work once but I am unable reproduce the success.

I have been using DOSbox successfully for quite a while but after upgrading my hardware and reinstalling Windows 7 I ran into this problem. A new Installation of DOSbox has exactly the same problem, so far I tried setting the CPUcycles to 15.000. I also noticed that changing the resolution in the config had no effect, could the new 4k monitor be to blame? CTRL+F10 also has no effect...

Hope somebody has advice for me 😀

I tried with Elderscrolls2:Daggerfall and PrincessMaker2.
Now I found a workaround: by starting DOSbox in Fullscreen this strange issue doesn't appear, unfortunately only a small 1024x800 (or so) portion of the screen is actually used.
