I am trying to run the first HoMM game on an HP laptop running Vista SP2 and it has Conexant High Definition onboard sound.
The game is running fine except the background music isn't working. I do get ambient sounds and a little music plays in fights but that is it.
Maybe this is something to do with the new 2.x installer and making games work with Win8 but I notice this latest install does not play the short intro video to the game either. There is no New World Computing logo, etc. It just loads the initial screen with the menu directly now or at least it does on this computer. On my other one but using the older installer, I get the full intro before I get to that screen and also music works fine but it is a different computer.
I am wondering what setting or settings I might need to change in the DOSBox .conf file to fix this.
Anyone have any ideas?
