Strange Sound

Post by RobikZ »

I got problem:
When i run game under windows, it works very slow and sound is also "crapped", but when i run this game under DOS i have no sound.

I got CMI8738 motherboard soundcard, and Sound Blaster emulator, this problem occurs also with other games (DM2, Fragile Allegiance, Duke Nukem 3D) What to do?

You shouldn't get any sound under windows! You card won't work with it, and so you get choppy sounds and it slows the thing down. Dont; think anyone has found a way passed it, so always play wit hthe 'no sound' option under windows

as for dos...hmm, odd
Personally I kept my old sound card and use it instead of the onboard on, so can get midi in DM2 and sounds in DM. Check the DM 2 posts to see if there is anythign suggested that might apply to you
Was unable to (permenantly) kill off ian_scho (Haynuus), Ameena, oh_brother (Westian), money (Falkor), raixel (Petal) and Lord_Bones (Aurek) in the DM D&D game Time's Champions!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE WHO MADE THE GAME WHAT IT WAS - GREAT!
