Hello,

Can someone please help me out with this one. I downloaded Pizza Tycoon for nostalgic needs but I can't get the sound to work. I have Soundblaster 24-live.


Thanks :help: :help: :help:

You need the Dosbox to play the game.

If only the sound doesn't work, try using VDMSound.
It consumes far less system resources then DosBox, and thus the gameplay will be smoother.

I play through dosbox and I think I have VDMsound but im not sure. There is neither sound or music though. Could have set things wrong in the install-menu. I don't really know what IRQ and those things that should be set. The other games has worked very good with dosbox.

If you have VDMSound, you can right-click on the excutable data of the game and choose "Play with VDMSound". If so, you have it, if not, presumably not...

You'll get into it. k:

Not neccesarily.

That's if you have not changed anything in the config file.
As for the soundcard, check which abbreviation is set is DosBox.conf - SB means Sound Blaster, then you have things like Pro, Pro, 1, 2, and 16.
Some games need very tight config match to work.

I know im a cheezy puff! I have looked up on those things now and the options was on SB16 220 7 1 and so on. I did set these in the installation but still not a tiny noise or music. I had VMDS installed but nothing worked through that either.

Oh its almost working now.
I started pizza.bat instead of pt.exe which I always started on in the old days. There was sound and music but still there is a problem. Both the sound and music were lagging very very much, so much I don't know if one can call that sound. Anyone got a clue?

Yup, increase the number of DosBox cycles.
