"Getting sound to work properly in DosBox"
I am trying to play Wizardry VII: Crusaders of the Dark Savant in DosBox. If I choose Adlib or soundblaster the effects don't sound right at all. If I choose internal speaker, the effects work, but there is an annoying popping noise after each effect is played. The music through my MT-32 works fine. It is just the effects.

There are two ways to fix this. I can either try and get either the adlib or soundlblaster option working correctly, or I can try and get rid of the popping noise with internal speaker selected. Any ideas?

When reading your message, I see a 'lobby' link in the lower right hand corner. I click that which takes me to an area called 'Conferences'. I don't see any reference on that page to an announcement #2.

In the lobby, the announcements are found under that blinking radio beacon-like icon (towards the upper left) ....

Ok thanks.

Unfortunately my game is already set up that way. In the game list section of the DosBox website under Wizardry VII, someone else is having the same trouble. I guess I will have to live with the popping noise.

This is a problem with Dosbox: it shuts off the Internal Speaker every time it's not needed, which results in the pops. There have been some requests to input a fix for this in the next version.

Wouldn't it be a heck of a lot easier to just use the D-Fend front end for DosBox so you don't have to manually mount drives and such?
