Virtualbs: LOL1 comes by default with the sound configured on "Sound Blaster Pro" settings, which provides acceptable sound, but doesn't show the awesome audio that LOL1 has. The best config (for me) is with "General MIDI" for Music Score leaving "Sound Blaster Pro" for the Sound Effects and digitized sources.
These settings can be altered by running "setup.exe" (located in the LOL1 folder) in dosbox.
Try it, guys, it really does make a *huge* difference in sound ambiance!

Below is my custom dosboxLOL1.conf (had to rename it to dosboxLOL1.png so I could attach it, just rename it back)
If anyone here can't do this, you need to tun setup.exe with any version of Dosbox. These settings can be altered by running "setup.exe" (located in the LOL1 folder) in dosbox.

I will give you some commands to help you the reader :), there is an explanation after each of the following commands.
I suggest you take the Lands of Lore 1 folder and put it in your Local Disk, rename it something short like LOL1, take note of your hard drive's letter (most of the cases is C)
Open up Dosbox, type(press Enter after typing any of these commands):
Mount C C:\LOL1
Virtual drive C will now be your Lands of Lore 1 folder, now type:
C:\
You will now be in the virtual drive C, then type:
setup
That's it, setup will appear and ask you about your sound preferences.
Complete the setup, type:
exit
You will now exit Dosbox, rename your Lands of Lore 1 folder to well...Lands of Lore 1 of course! Put it back where it was originally and you are done.
