Hey, everybody. I'm having some issues with Secret Missions 2 sound in DOSbox. That being, it simply doesn't work. I've tried reinstalling and reconfiguring, but for some reason, the sound still doesn't work. I'm playing the Deluxe Version on CD. Here's my setup:

[sdl]

loadfix -64 SM2.EXE

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!
 
Purely from memory, I used to execute 'sm2 V A904', where V = VGA, and A904 = IRQ:5, DMA:1, High DMA: 5, I/O: 220.

I think DOSbox uses IRQ:7 by default, so you might need to tinker a little.
 
i'd reduce the size of your loadfix, 64 is massive and knocks you down to below 600kb, try 32 or even 16 :)
 
Okay, both of those tips did it. The sound works perfectly now. Thank you all so much for your help! I'll figure out fighting Gratha in an asteroid belt myself. :P
 
heh on re-reading this, it seems likely that it was the audio setup, for some reason sm2's installer doesnt choose the same defaults as wc and sm1's does (so2 is the same)

Still glad you got it working :)
