Dungeon Master PC + vdmsound problem (XP)

[Guest]

Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.rpg (More info?)

tried running Dungeon Master (the original, not the Java version) on
Windows XP

game runs perfectly, but even with vdmsound I get no "Soundblaster"
sound, only "Adlib" and that one is not working properly

I run an Audigy 2

thanks a lot in advance for any hints on how to get proper sound!

Have you tried DosBox? I played DM too and the sound works
well

thx for the hint - but tbh that program is beyond me ... even have to
mount drive letters each time ... :\

sorry, disregard the previous post - I figured it out - simply drag
dm.exe over the dosbox icon!

one thing though, full screen mode results in fuzzy graphics and the
game runs a tiny bit laggy ... sound is great though!

thanks!

When I bought Dungeion Master, it came with the FTL Sound Adapter, a device
that plugged into the printer (parallel) port and connected to speakers to
provide sound, and also to a joystick. It was for computers that had only the
internal speaker. It worked very well. I have not tried it with a contemporary
OS.
