Hello! Sorry if this has been covered before, but I could not find any relevant posts.

I set up a machine for playing DOS games (I had a DOS machine as my third machine for use with 64HDD). It is an AMD K6/450 running DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.1 (just for nostalgia's sake). I purchased a Sound Blaster 16 ISA card, installed the drivers and configured it. The card works fine with the SBDIAG program, and it works in Windows. It also works with Keen4. I would assume that the original Prince of Persia doesn't support Sound Blaster, but I have read on the Net about using it with a Blaster, and I seem to remember running it back in the day through one.

The sound works, but it only comes through the PC speaker. I couldn't find any kind of setup in the directory. Maybe I am missing some files, I am not sure.

Any advice?

Thanks!

hi rick, well i had simmilar "problem".
when i ran prince of persia the sounds were only ADLIB.
but after i quit the game [CTRL+Q] and run prince.exe again, or just restart level[CTRL+R] the sounds switches to sound blaster. repeating switches it back
...and the most strange thing about it is that its switched randomly :blink:

try that too, maybe it helps

well prince of persia has problems detecing a soundblaster if your pc is too fast compared to the original speed of the pc's at the time the game was released.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

I would have never even guessed that it could be a "too fast" machine causing the sound not to work. But I ended up replacing the K62/450 with an Intel Pentium 133 and the sound works beautifully! What a difference the sound makes!

Although, I originally beat the game on black and white monitor with no sound... made the potion choice trial and error!
