Make sure you select Soundblaster or Compatible, DOSBox emulate that soundcard in priority.

you can also use adlib music synthetiser, i personally think that it's even betterthan roland in case of most of old games. sounds are less.. wierd. maybe you thought it's distorted while it's normal roland sound=)

MY PC is a WInXP PC and I NEVER had a sound issue with any other dos game (Expect ninja gaiden) that I've played under dosbox

Like Roland said, you should go with Adlib. If it still fails, use PC Sounds...

Select Adlib.
Also, it might be a good idea to change the soundcard emulation to Sound Blaster Pro 2 (assuming you left it at default Sound Blaster 16), as SB16 emulation seems to produce certain sound oddities every now and then (well, at least for me it does).

How do you do that and I found that changiong to PC Sound lowered my sound and it distorts on the right speaker but the left speaker is ok.

I meant you, Russ... I was tired and wrote the wrong thing. <_<

Junji: you are trying to run a very, very old game. There is no workaround, for all that we knows maybe the game was designed that way. PC sound should come from your PC speaker, not your normal speakers and this could explain the distortion.
