I recently acquired a copy of both Jazz Jackrabbit and the first Holiday Hare game. Jazz Jackrabbit works perfectly, but Holiday Hare started with absolutely no sound. I ran the set up and tried different configurations, but whenever I played it, it sounded like the compressed truck stuck on neutral.

Now this is the version that did no come included in the CD version, I'm not sure if that effects the outcome of my problem

Are you running it on DOSBox or on a real machine?

Dosbox

Try choosing the "Sound Blaster Clone" soundcard in the game's setup program. That worked for me when using sbtype=sbpro2 . With sbtype=sb16 , the "Sound Blaster Pro" choice appears to also work correctly.

Okay I'll try clone. But when I used Sound Blaster Pro, it was making that stuttering clicky noise

*Edit* Tried clone, same exact noise

How high have you set the CPU cycles? Sound also requires some processing power, so higher cycles help a bit. Also click on Edit Configuration for DosBox and look for these two settings under [mixer]:

blocksize=2048 (default)
prebuffer=10 (default)

Change the default values for these two to 1024 each and see if that helps. Lower values values for blocksize, in some games, actually help for less stuttering sound (in games where it would still stutter under higher values) while higher values for prebuffer help reducing the frequency of those stutterings or eliminate them, hence the values I mentioned.
If the problems with the sound still persist, experiment with those two values. Also be sure to set the rate= under [mixer] to 22050 if it is higher than that - some games don't support Soundblaster 16, only older Soundblaster models, therefore no sample rates higher than 22050.

DOSBox version, please. Also post your DOSBox config file.

0.74, I think that's the latest version

Also, here's the config file. I edited it per Scatty's advice

Also, apologies for the late reply

*EDIT* Changed the sound card to "Gravis Ultrasound" and it seems to be working perfectly
