Hi there,

The music volume slider doesn't seem to work (the sound effects one does) - the music keeps playing at the same volume.

Is there any way to turn the music off?

Thanks!

I haven't tried it, but apparently you can open dosboxDK.conf in notepad and add the following line before "CLS" (way at the bottom):

MIXER CDAUDIO 50:50

50:50 is for 50%, 75:75 for 75%, ...
ah will check if we fixed that for the next version. Added a lot of cd audio support improvements lately/
What is the CLS? And is there a patch I can download to fix this problem?

And, by the way, this problem is for Dungeon Keeper 1.

This no longer works as a solution, and the Volume slider in-game is still broken so I can't turn it down. Halp?

Same issue here. Running Win 7.
Hello, the game works perfectly fine, but the sound jumps a lot and have no idea on how to change it, could you help me please
As above, the game appears to run fine but I cannot change the sound settings. The volume sliders move, but don't change anything
Change your global sound volume to adjust for what volume of music you want, then adjust the sound slider.

hI,

Just bought DK Gold - and am having the same annoying problem - sliders don't work, and the solution provided doesn't make sense to me either (the coding bit a few posts above, because the file quoted doesn't have CLS in it now, and also the global sound settings you suggested).

Can anyone provide an up to date solution - I don't mind being called thick (well, I suppose I do actually :-) - but this problem is irritating, and the music is actually beginning to freak me out a bit!

Thanks in advance,

Clarissa

If you haven't found it: dosboxDK_single.conf.
dosboxDK_single.conf has nothing I can recognize as sound. The only thing I can do is go into dosboxDK and turn off ALL sounds by changing nosound=false to nosound=true. (it's about halfway down)

I don't want to turn off all sound, I just want to turn off the music, the sounds of the imps running around, slapping the mistress, and the heroes attacking are all needed (at least by me).

It's not supposed to. From the solution: add the following line before "CLS":

MIXER CDAUDIO 50:50

In your case, no music, you want both channels to be set to 0:

MIXER CDAUDIO 0:0

Yeah, I read that as change, not add, but the 0:0 is really what I needed too, thank you very much.
Hello.

Despite what the thread says this issue has not been solved. I've tried everything suggested here and more and I still cant kill the music.
Just to be clear here I would like to maintain the sound effects. It's just the music I wanna mute.

Does anyone have any suggestions left?
