Default split from another Xcom topic

this is a split from another topic
------------------------

Hey there... I have a similar problem... only, My DosBox version seems to have no sound. This is not a major problem really, it just lacks the fear and atmosphere I remember from the game.

Every time i run the setup prog, nothing actually works and the prog seems to throw out the changes before closing.

I am running Vista Basic with SP1 on a 1.9Ghz dual core AMD Athlon with 2GB memory and vast swathes of HD space.
I don't think I am using a sound card as such. It appears to be onboard REALtec
high defenition audio.
Any hints and tips?

Check if any files in the game directory don't happen to be set to read-only.

uh..... I wish to submit a formal request to be mocked for my stupidity.

I have found a post from the begginning of the month regarding sound in Dosbox. I totally didn't realise there were additional benefits to mounting the cd drive in the game directory as well as just mounting the game file's location.

Not only do I get sound, I also get the intro.

Let the mocking commence!!!:amused:

Hello Mech Commander.

You need to mess up a little with the setup files. My own copy doesn't work with sound either, but I managed to run the music in the background.

Thing is, I never played this game with sound anyways. There was no soundcard on my computer when I first played the game, so I don't actualy miss anything.

Maybe using a lower version of DOSBox would help here.
