Default compatibility issue?

I'm a long time fan of Enemy Unknown. I used to run it on a 75mHz PC! I'm now a Mac user and have got it to run using DOSbox. It's great playing it again after all this time. Late nights again too. It's running well except for sound effects. There is sound, that is, the soundtrack, but no sound effects. I can't find any other posts so I'd appreciate any advice. I would appreciate the DOS line commands too - it's slowly coming back to me but it took me a while to work it out!
I miss the sound of doors clicking open and shut and the clunking of your soldiers when walking in UFOs. Thank you for any help you can offer.

run setup.exe, select sound blaster 16 with default config and adlib for music (if you havn't reconfigured dosbox). then be sure that you are running ufocd.bat

Default thanks!

r.u.s.s. thank you very much. And so quick! I even remember the set up graphics, it's crazy. I was looking for settings within the game.

All your discussions made me playing it again :amused:
I have a doubt, are all kind of radar useless if you have an Hyperwave decoder? I don't remember :worried:

Yep, Hyperwave decoder automatically detects all UFOs within range.

My answer to the pistol-rifle debate?

Who the hell cares? Prelaser weapons are useless anyway. If you want to go after crashed UFOs in the early game, use what you've got and don't worry about "no, the pistol's better! No, the rifle!" They're pretty equal. (Equally weak that is.)
