ok and if I do that what I get is:

[GTX2GvO]

Address:220
IRQ:7
DMA:1
HDMA:5

Think T6 means it's SB16 or better.. (not sure, but it's most likely)

[Zomby]

yes 16 or better and I do put the same stuff in game setup and I have even tried different options in game setup to see if I get a result and I have tried different options with Dos Box to see if I get a better result and I have even tried to go from a higher setting in DBox to a lower one in Game setup and still no result, I dont get not one sound I haven´t even got to trieing to get the music..

[GTX2GvO]

Could you then post a screenschot of the set up screen(s)??
(Audio set ups only)

ok and if I do it then this is what it looks like:

I have tried this and it does not work for some reason and it does not work if I have DMA 5 or if I have diferent nuber of channels or if I try IRQ 5 and if I try it without changeing anything from DOS Box conf or without changeing it. So no matter if it is synchronised or unsynchronized I dont get anything I even tried to alter to autoexec for UFO by makeing a separate copy for it and then changeing the path for it´s executable to that copy and even then I did not get a result if I even SYNCHRONIZED THE AUTOEXEC to DOS Box or vice versa....
I dont know weather to cry or to laugh, now I am quite tired as I had was working earlyer today and it is late at night where I am. So perhaps there is a chance that I have missed somthing trivial and stupid.. I sure hope so - one of those rare times..
you see guys I dont get not even a crack from my speakers.. :S

[GTX2GvO]

Hmm.. those ARE the correct settings I see in your screenshot....

So it SHOULD work..

Maybe set the IRQ in the Dosbox.conf file (see MY previous screenshots) to 5 and thus the enemy unknown settings IRQ also to 5..
(ONLY the IRQ!!!)

That. Or your speaker cable isn't connected correctly.

Well I already tried it earlyer and I tried it again but still zipo not a sound and the funny thing is that I have no problems with sound in windows so it has to be a problem between either Dos BOX and windows or between the game and Dos BOX. But I have an indea that might give another idea to think about! I suppose you have no problem running UFO Defense? RIght? So here is what I want to ask you to do - two things, if you are willing to help me:
1. go to the folder where you have UFO, then open setup files properties, then click program, then click advanced and tell me what do you see in your PIF settings, what is the path for AUTOEXEC.NT and CONFIG.NT?
2. (If it was under system32) then open/edit (WITH NOTEPAD!) the file AUTOEXEC.NT and tell me what do you see where it is written SET BLASTER, what are the settings for it after it?

I just want to know to compare with my settings and see if I have anything different.

Thanx!

[Zomby]

Do not change anything or save any changes in that file!

[dosraider]

Allright, let get things clear here.

Your autoexec.nt and config.nt has nothing, I repeat so that you understand well: NOTHING to see with dosbox sound settings.
You are mixing things up, really, it's been said before.

Dosbox uses his OWN settings stored in the dosbox config file.
The default settings to run a game with sound in dosbox are:
SB16 or better
ADR 220
IRQ 7
DMA 1
HDMA 5

Please, please, forget any 'pif' files when running dosgames in dosbox, those are windows files, shortcuts from the W3 era, nothing to do with dosbox.

[Edit]
Just tested the DOSVERSION from AB again:
Unzipped in e:\games\xcom (e:\games\ is my virtual C folder)
My mount/launch lines

mount c e:\games
mount d e:\games\xcom -t cdrom
c:
cd xcom
ufocd

Game runs with sound in dosbox , no problems, no problems whatsoever, game is configured to run in dosbox, dosbox with default settings.

First: delete your old ufo folder.
Download the dosversion from ab, adapt your mount lines to match your folders, done.

You'll find the dosversion at the bottom of the game sheet.
