Probably now it will. If not - it is
probably a bug in dosemu.

I see, and now I recalled that's exactly
how M worked for me in the past:)
Faking the irq number seems to help, although
it still says "MPU type unknown".
Now, as IRQs are actually working for MPU,
it is enough to run it without parameters.

Well, I might be confusing something, but I
thought you have some relations with
www.linux-sound.org, haven't you? If so,
here is a quote:
---
PC Speaker
          PC Speaker Driver old driver from Humboldt University in Berlin
          PC Speaker Driver Patch from Erik Inge Bolso
---
If you have nothing to do with that site
then I might have confused you with someone
else.

Unless he have no other sound card I assume.

setver doesn't matter in that case as FreeDOS
is not supposed to work with Windows (probably
any), this is from official sources.
I tested with PC-DOS.

> Can you recommend a version to use with FreeDOS ?
Version of what? If you have any version of
M that doesn't require Windows to run, this
version might be appropriate. Otherwise use
MS-DOS or PC-DOS to run Windows.
