Each episode of this game has an installer, "instel.exe". In the installer is a Soundblaster option. There is also a "sound" option above it but im not sure if its supposed to be selected at the same time or not. There are .voc files so im almost certain it should work when selected, but in game it only gives PC Speaker even when selected.

it seems the digital is just to play the two voc files. there is no digital music I can see in the game.

i did try both with and without sound enabled. sound turns off the little midi snippets that play when you pick up an item or beat\loose a level.

I'm not sure what triggers the voc files though. One is for when you win and one for when you loose. The winning one may not play unless you beat the game. The loosing one though is a little more mysterious. Either it isn't playing when it should (such as when you die or loose all of your lives). Or, it only plays if you loose after a certain point...?

The loosing screen says something about hell though, and the loosing voc file is a guy screaming. So it makes sense it would go there.

I spend some time trying to load various sound drivers (sound.com, sbfmdrv, etc...) before loading the game. None of them made a difference.

I'm not sure it is worth the time to try and get those voc files to play when we don't even know what triggers them

Seeing as this is in a pile for "we dont know" instead of solved, should we keep it open with a hold label instead of closing it off?

that is fine.
