I know this has been talked about on this forum before, but The music is wayyy too loud, I cant seem to lower it. The in game volume options dont work either.

How do I make the music volume lower. If there is a way can you tell how to do it step by step, I dont really know a lot about dos games.

Thanks

You can't change the music volume in game, you have to use Dosbox to do it.

Open your folder where you have installed the game and find the file dosboxLBA_single.conf. You can open it using notepad. It should look something like this:

[IPX]
Enable=0
Connection=0
ipx=false


[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
@echo off
mount C ".."
imgmount d "..\LBA.DAT" -t iso
c:
cls
mixer cdaudio 90:90
mixer sb 240:240
RELENT.EXE
exit

The numbers in bold is what you want to change. The first one (90) is music volume while the second one (240) is sound volume.

The above numbers is what worked fine for me. If it's too loud, try lowering the music volume. Set it to 40 or something until it sounds right.

Thanks a lot ZFR, it worked. I appreciate you telling me how to do it as well. The only thing is, my dosboxLBA_single.conf looks like this:

[IPX]
Enable=0
Connection=0
ipx=false

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
@echo off
mount C ".."
imgmount d "..\LBA.DAT" -t iso
c:
cls
mixer cdaudio 2:2
RELENT.EXE
exit

The mixer sb 240:240, isn't there for some reason. Do you know why?

Anyway thanks again man, I truly appreciate it!

In retrospect, I think I might have added the mixer sb 240:240 myself, precisely because the music was too loud. I remember tinkering with this file a bit.

I think the default is 100:100, so I added mixer sb 240:240 to make sound louder thus making it relatively louder than music.

Ah ok, I undertand.

Last thing, do you know which sound driver in the setup is the best for music and sound effects? For example "Sound blaster 1, 2, 3,...16. I'm not sure if mine have changed because my sounds do sound a bit different than they were before and I did go into the setup of the game beforehand.

Soundblaster OPL FM-synthesis gives inferior midi music

Wave Blaster or Sound Blaster 16 gives best quality.
