I recently bough Conquest of Camelot on Ebay (a a high price, might I add :)) and installed it on my computer, unfortunetly I cant get the sound to work and cant hear any of the music or effects. I’m running the game on Windows ME. Any advice or help will really be appreciated.
Thanks Again,

(re: Conquest of Camelot Sound Help)
is this a DOS game? did you get an error message when you first loaded the game?
first, try all the different sound card settings. (i’m assuming it’s a DOS game…) you can change your sound card setting by running install.bat
if that doesn’t solve the problem, try the GoSierra patch. it resolves a problem that occurs when the processor is too fast for the sound test to register that there’s a sound card. (if this is the case, you may have gotten an error message like “Unable to initialize sound card” when you tried running the game.)
the link for the GoSierra patch is below.

(re: Conquest of Camelot Sound Help) Hi Elias,
You should try VDMSound at
Link: http://ntvdm.cjb.net/(http://ntvdm.cjb.net/)
.
It solved my sound problem in old dos games.
Good luck 🙂

(re: Conquest of Camelot Sound Help) Please note that VDMS is designed for use with Windows NT, 2000 and XP. As is, it will not work with Windows ME (or 95/98) — however, there is a link on the website to an alpha version of VDMS for Windows 9x that worked for me with ME — but you have to follow the directions explicitly to get it to work! It appears (at least it has been my experience with a couple of recent sound cards) that many newer sound cards (read — not SB) are Windows specific and cannot be set to work under a DOS environment — some even having trouble with Linux or vice-versa (read no legacy modes/not SB compatible) — thus the need for a program like VDMS that emulates DOS sound modes in the Windows environment. In fact, if I understand correctly, VDMS doesn’t strictly even require a sound card to work properly (although sound would most certainly be rather crappy and tinny without one — using the PC speaker, I presume.)
