All games will work on those settings, unless you change them in your emulator and you needn't. It's the game you must configure, not DOSBox or VDMSound. It seems you didn't save the changes you made. Try running another program in the game's folder, it's usually named SETUP, SETSOUND, INSTALL or something like that, configure sound hardware there, and save changes --if there's such option, if not they'll be saved nonetheless.

That's what happened, I didn't save. But that (making some changes in dosbox.conf) is how I got the sound to work (if only for a few seconds) before making a muck of it. I tried doing a few other things and maybe the same thing again but to no avail. And as far as I know (I'm not at home right now, will confirm then) there's no setup file for Blackstar in either the Windows folder - only a few readme files, and the sound file just says which kind of card Vittaco used to make the game (and something about autoexec.exe) - or on dosbox (except for FM.COM, which doesn't do anything really). I know other games have them and I know how to use them but this game seems different. I played the first episode on a Game Empire compilation years ago and it's great without the sound but I'd still like to hear it!

Oh, when I open the game it gives a sound option: should I select PC Speaker or Sound Card?
