Just create a config file: config -writeconf dosbox.conf . Startup your favourite editor and look at all the settings present. To start DOSBox with your new settings: dosbox -conf dosbox.conf +Q: What sound hardware does DosBox presently emulate? +A: DosBox emulates several legacy sound devices: + - Internal PC speaker + This emulation includes both the tone generator and several forms of digital + sound output through the internal speaker. + - Creative CMS/Gameblaster + The is the first card released by Creative Labs(R). The default configuration places + it on port 0x220. It should be noted that enabling this with the Adlib emulation may + result in conflicts. + - Tandy 3 voice + The emulation of this sound hardware is complete with the exception of the noise channel, + which is not very well documented and as such is only a best guess as to the sound's accuracy. + - Adlib + Borrowed from MAME, this emulation is almost perfect and includes the Adlib's ability to almost + play digitized sound. + - SoundBlaster Pro + Coupled with the Adlib, DosBox provides Soundblaster Pro level 8-bit stereo sound. + - Disney Soundsource + Using the printer port, this sound device outputs digital sound only. + - Gravis Ultrasound + The emulation of this hardware is nearly complete, though the MIDI capabilities have been left + out since an MPU-401 has been emulated in other code. + - MPU-401 + A MIDI passthrough interface is also emulated. This method of sound output will only work when + used with a General Midi or MT-32 device. + + Q: Great README, but I still don't get it. A: While unlikely this seems to happen.
