Audio problem: Quest for Glory 3
I just downloadead Quest for Glory 3 and everything works fine, except for the audio. When I start it up, it tells me it can't detect my audio device (the game is 1992) and continues with no sound. How can I fix this?

By running the game in DOSBox.
Those old games weren't coded in mind with the modern sound hardware. Adding to the problem, in the DOS era most games communicated directly with your hardware rather than through the DirectX.

Sorry, I was kind of typing in a hurry. *
Should have written "all" instead of "most" |
