Sound problems

[Ignaz Forster <ignaz.forster@gmx.de>]

Hi there,

I just wanted to play a quite old game called "1869" again. The game 
works fine, but I can't hear any sound. I think it's Adlib-sound, but 
I'm not sure.
Regarding that problem I have further questions:
1. What version of dosemu should be used? At the moment, I'm using the 
latest stable version (1.0.2).
2. I tried to set up the midid-device as described in the 
sound-usage.txt.  When trying to run it as a standalone application, it 
says "Driver failed to init: <Name of the emulated card> <device>". It 
happens with all the available emulations and devices. When opening the 
program for dosemu with the command
    midid < ~/.dosemu/run/dosemu-midi &
the output
    [3] 3082
appears. What message should occur there?
3. I read on http://dosemu.sourceforge.net/stas, that midid isn't 
required at all when using a SoundBlaster Live. As I have that card, 
could anybody explain how to use it (or show me a tutorial)?

It would be great if anybody would know some answers to the questions above.

Thanks,
Ignaz
