I'm trying to play Wizardry 6, but I'm having some issues with sound. My version is the one that came with The Ultimate Wizardry Archive (the collection of Wizardry 1-7). Namely the sound that plays when you first enter the castle (door opens & closes) just repeats, and it keeps on repeating, even if I switch floor, save & then reload the game.

I'm running the game in dosbox, with soundblaster set as my soundcard.

The game does feel a bit empty without any sound, but it does beat hearing that opening/closing sound over and over at least. So I'll take your advice and play it without any
Dosbox does by the way, as far as I know, not have any support for Roland

Not sure if this will help, but some potential solutions are listed here:

Good luck.

How about doing what the vogons discussion suggested, ie. using the PC speaker sounds instead of Adlib/Soundblaster? According to that discussion, they tried to use the Adlib OPL chip for playing samples, which is kinda what it was not supposed to do. :)

(I have the Wizardry Archives compilation too, but I've really just played Wizardy Gold (ie. the Win3.1 version of Wizardry 7). As long as you installed Munt in Windows, or have a real Roland unit, DOSBox can pass the MIDI messages to the MIDI unit (or Munt), and the Roland MT-32 sounds are played fine by either Munt or the real Roland MIDI module.

There is also some special DOSBox build ("Ynghwog's" or something) which has "Munt" built in, but I prefer installing BASSMIDI+Munt separately as that works with all games, even GOG DOSBox games not running in the special DOSBox build.

But, I am unsure if Wizardry 6 had any Roland MT-32 support anyway. MT-32 couldn't play digital samples, e.g. speech or digitized sound effects.

Sadly that did not solve the repeating sound problem.

In fact, I can't even hear any difference between the PC-speaker & Sounblaster mode, which is odd (I would expect it to be a huge difference, considering how bad PC-speaker sound usually sounds)

I'm a bit curious how the game would sound with the PC Speaker only option, but I couldn't get it to work with D-Fend Reloaded.
