No music on little big adventure
Mark Hobley
I am running little big adventure under dosemu but I cannot get the music
to work.
The sound effects work ok, if I choose the following settings from within
SETUP.EXE:
Soundblaster Pro 2, Address 220h, IRQ 5, DMA Channel 1
However, I cannot get music using those settings.
(My hardware is not really a Soundblaster.)
Has anyone managed to get music for Little Big Adventure working in
dosemu?
Mark.

Compatibles often need to run some initializer app to put them into SBpro
compatible mode.

Is there some sort of generic initializer, that prepares the DOS system
to use the underlying Linux based sound system with system having to be
familiar with the physical underlying hardware?
The sound hardware actually varies from machine to machine and I do not
have DOS drivers. The only thing that I can guarantee is that the sound
does work under Linux.
I have working sound not working midi. I am told that some sound hardware
does not actually have working midi, but can produce midi when running in
Microsoft Windows due to a hidden driver that translates the midi calls
to emulation via the wave output device).
I really need to create some sort of working abstraction layer that
provides the option to emulate midi via the wave output device, and
provides a consistent "Sound Blaster Compatible" interface via dosemu.

Right. I have managed to fix this. No initializer application is needed.
The solution (provided by Stas Sergeev) is as follows:
set $_sound=(2) in dosemu.conf
