I guess that's a soundblaster issue.
Search for the best digitized speech settings. Try them out in Dosbox when you start the setup.

On the other hand ScummVM is actually a workin'-guarrantee... :blink:

I'm also having problem with sound. The sound is 'clicking' so it's very hard to understand anything in the intro. I use ScummVM and I have WindozeXP. Any suggestions?

Sorry to doublepost, but 4 days have passed. So does anyone have suggestions to make the sound work? Anyone?

Go to ScummVM website and download ScummVM and both of the free games on the site. You won't regret it. It's also the only way I've found to get Broken Sword to run.

Uhh...? I'd like to get this game to work. Not any other games.

Hmmmm... Kaali, maybe you misread the post.

Go to ScummVM (virtual machine) website and dowload both ScummVM and their full version of Beneath a Steel Sky.

Then use ScummVM to run BASS. You shouldn't have any problems. ScummVM is very user friendly.

Alternatively, just go download ScummVM and use it to play the download of BASS that you already have.

ScummVM allows you to play games which use scummTM, such as most old Lucast Arts games, and the Broken Sword games.

I have run BASS through scummVM and dosbox (windowsXP) with no problem previously.

As Icewolf said, best that you check that you have the most appropriate sound settings set for your system.

Perhaps you have downloaded a ripped version of the game which doesn't actually contain speech effects etc.

I'm sure I have the version with speech and music and stuff. Do you mean to use dosbox and scumm at the same time? How do you do that? Which one of the exe, bat or whatever files do you run to get it working? And do you change any options in Scumm? Thanks for helping!
