I guess I'm also one of the unlucky ones that this didn't work for :(. Setting the cycles to max just makes the whole game stutter rather than fixing it and eventually culminates in the game crashing if I try to play. Can't seem to get it to both run smooth and have clear sound in missions :(

This is my first time using this so I dont under stand how to navigate to C:\Program Files\\Dungeon Keeper
Please Help.

I just bought it today, and well.. I still got that problem, when i didnt go fix it, then the sound had issue's, and then when i did the fix in dosbox, then i got the mouse-lag problem..
Now i dont really know what to do..

Hey! Thanks for this fix! First game I got up and running from GOG, and it fixed it for my laptop! I am finding this game mildly hilarious! I remember always wanting to get DK back in the day when it came out, but never ended up doing so. Glad I got to try it now!

Anyone know how to make this work in OSX? I found the dosboxDK.conf file, and changed the same setting, but it had no discernible affect on the sound choppiness.

I can see two possible solutions :
- either find another DOS emulator for Mac
- or find a Windows emulator for Mac and use one of the Windows versions of the game

DK1 worked fine on my Win 7 laptop, but the Missus had choppy sound on her Win 8. She's a fiend for this game & your help has kept her off my machine by making it play on hers. Thank you so much!

Thanks for this fix. Worked perfectly for me. This, along with Alt-R has made the game playable and awesome on my olde-laptop. Now, time to splat more heroes! :D

can some one help me im using windows 8 i dont know where and what the file is named.

I am using Wine under Xubuntu 14.04. Changing the cycles in the dosboxDK.conf did not help, but setting rate=8000 and blocksize=8192 fixed it.

hello,
long story made short: try with Windows restarted in safe mode, it could help ;)

after changing any possible setting in DosBox, I used a different approach: maybe the audio issues were NOT related to DosBox but to something else... probably there is a service or an application that interferes in some way... so I tried to restart Windows 10 in safe mode, et voilà, the audio was just perfect.

I was also thinking to make a clean win7 install on a secondary partition, just to use that OS only for old games.. but Win10 safe mode is good enough.

this hint is not specific to DK, but it should be valid for any game, e.g. it fixed Lands of Lore audio issues.

cheers!
