            I guess the only Problem now is i am not getting any sound or volume

            Any Tips or Suggesting ?

            i also have a freeze up regarding the sound issue

            hows everything on your end , did you have sound issues ?

                    Got to say i never change anything there in the sound options or even go there.
                    check another msdos game , u have sound with it ?
                    this is my dosbox-SVN.conf - (in the folder retropie/configs/pc)

                    # This is the configuration file for DOSBox SVN. (Please use the latest version of DOSBox)
# Lines starting with a # are comment lines and are ignored by DOSBox.
# They are used to (briefly) document the effect of each option.

[sdl]
#       fullscreen: Start dosbox directly in fullscreen. (Press ALT-Enter to go back)
#       fulldouble: Use double buffering in fullscreen. It can reduce screen flickering, but it can also result in a slow DOSBox.
#   fullresolution: What resolution to use for fullscreen: original, desktop or a fixed size (e.g. 1024x768).
#                     Using your monitor's native resolution with aspect=true might give the best results.
#                     If you end up with small window on a large screen, try an output different from surface.On Windows 10 with display scaling (Scale and layout) set to a value above 100%, it is recommended
#                     to use a lower full/windowresolution, in order to avoid window size problems.
# windowresolution: Scale the window to this size IF the output device supports hardware scaling.
#                     (output=surface does not!)
#           output: What video system to use for output.
#                     Possible values: surface, overlay.
#         autolock: Mouse will automatically lock, if you click on the screen. (Press CTRL-F10 to unlock)
#      sensitivity: Mouse sensitivity. The optional second parameter specifies vertical sensitivity (e.g. 100,-50).
#      waitonerror: Wait before closing the console if dosbox has an error.
#         priority: Priority levels for dosbox. Second entry behind the comma is for when dosbox is not focused/minimized.
#                     pause is only valid for the second entry.
#                     Possible values: lowest, lower, normal, higher, highest, pause.
#       mapperfile: File used to load/save the key/event mappings from. Resetmapper only works with the default value.
#     usescancodes: Avoid usage of symkeys, might not work on all operating systems.

fullscreen = true
fulldouble       = false
fullresolution = desktop
windowresolution = original
output = overlay
autolock         = true
sensitivity      = 100

[dosbox]
# language: Select another language file.
#  machine: The type of machine DOSBox tries to emulate.
#             Possible values: hercules, cga, tandy, pcjr, ega, vgaonly, svga_s3, svga_et3000, svga_et4000, svga_paradise, vesa_nolfb, vesa_oldvbe.
# captures: Directory where things like wave, midi, screenshot get captured.
#  memsize: Amount of memory DOSBox has in megabytes.
#             This value is best left at its default to avoid problems with some games,
#             though few games might require a higher value.
#             There is generally no speed advantage when raising this value.

language = 
machine  = svga_s3
captures = capture
memsize  = 16

[render]
# frameskip: How many frames DOSBox skips before drawing one.
#    aspect: Do aspect correction, if your output method doesn't support scaling this can slow things down!
#    scaler: Scaler used to enlarge/enhance low resolution modes. If 'forced' is appended,
#              then the scaler will be used even if the result might not be desired.
#              To fit a scaler in the resolution used at full screen may require a border or side bars,
#              to fill the screen entirely, depending on your hardware, a different scaler/fullresolution might work.
#              Possible values: none, normal2x, normal3x, advmame2x, advmame3x, advinterp2x, advinterp3x, hq2x, hq3x, 2xsai, super2xsai, supereagle, tv2x, tv3x, rgb2x, rgb3x, scan2x, scan3x.

[cpu]
#      core: CPU Core used in emulation. auto will switch to dynamic if available and
#              appropriate.
#              Possible values: auto, dynamic, normal, simple.
#   cputype: CPU Type used in emulation. auto is the fastest choice.
#              Possible values: auto, 386, 386_slow, 486_slow, pentium_slow, 386_prefetch.
#    cycles: Amount of instructions DOSBox tries to emulate each millisecond.
#              Setting this value too high results in sound dropouts and lags.
#              Cycles can be set in 3 ways:
#                'auto'          tries to guess what a game needs.
#                                It usually works, but can fail for certain games.
#                'fixed #number' will set a fixed amount of cycles. This is what you usually
#                                need if 'auto' fails (Example: fixed 4000).
#                'max'           will allocate as much cycles as your computer is able to
#                                handle.
#              Possible values: auto, fixed, max.
#   cycleup: Amount of cycles to decrease/increase with keycombos.(CTRL-F11/CTRL-F12)
# cycledown: Setting it lower than 100 will be a percentage.

core = dynamic
cputype   = auto
cycles = max
cycleup   = 10
cycledown = 20

[mixer]
#   nosound: Enable silent mode, sound is still emulated though.
#      rate: Mixer sample rate, setting any device's rate higher than this will probably lower their sound quality.
#              Possible values: 44100, 48000, 32000, 22050, 16000, 11025, 8000, 49716.
# blocksize: Mixer block size, larger blocks might help sound stuttering but sound will also be more lagged.
#              Possible values: 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 512, 256.
# prebuffer: How many milliseconds of data to keep on top of the blocksize.

# mididevice: Device that will receive the MIDI data from MPU-401.
#               Possible values: default, win32, alsa, oss, coreaudio, coremidi, none.
# midiconfig: Special configuration options for the device driver. This is usually the id or part of the name of the device you want to use (find the id/name with mixer/listmidi).
#               Or in the case of coreaudio, you can specify a soundfont here.
#               When using a Roland MT-32 rev. 0 as midi output device, some games may require a delay in order to prevent 'buffer overflow' issues.
#               In that case, add 'delaysysex', for example: midiconfig=2 delaysysex
#               See the README/Manual for more details.

# sbmixer: Allow the soundblaster mixer to modify the DOSBox mixer.
# oplmode: Type of OPL emulation. On 'auto' the mode is determined by sblaster type. All OPL modes are Adlib-compatible, except for 'cms'.
#            Possible values: auto, cms, opl2, dualopl2, opl3, opl3gold, none.
#  oplemu: Provider for the OPL emulation. compat might provide better quality (see oplrate as well).
#            Possible values: default, compat, fast, mame.
# oplrate: Sample rate of OPL music emulation. Use 49716 for highest quality (set the mixer rate accordingly).
#            Possible values: 44100, 49716, 48000, 32000, 22050, 16000, 11025, 8000.

                    try add this files with the data inside , and run the *.sh file.
                    hope it will make it work ;)

                      Thanks for the advice

                      unfortuly it didnt work the .sh file you advised ...

                      i tried with

                      dosbox

                          3 dosbox games

                          (all light gun games for those 3 consoles )

                          then i went to the audio setting in Retropie and selected default ...

                          i got my sound back in all games , except dosbox (no audio or sound )

                          i dont know if its my set up but all the audio is either choppy or cracking

                          but dosbox ... no sound at all

                          i installed

                          mad dog 1

                          mad dog 2

                          who shot johnny rock

                          • no sound in the dosbox games

                          • choppy sounds psx games

                          • cracking sounds in the mame games

                          any suggestings ... do you need me to pull up any logs or something so you can see or any pictures of anything ?

                                        Thank for the details

                                        I actually ended up doing a fresh install last night before I went to sleep and I haven't installed anything yet

                                        I will try it this morning and info you

                                        One question I need to ask , I did notice no sound again with the fresh install

                                        Should I click audio

                                        • Default

                                        Or

                                        • HDMI

                                        ( my tv is connected through HDMI )

                                            Great news !!!!

                                            after a fresh reinstall

                                            the game works with sound ...

                                            but ....

                                            i seem to get this issue every time around the 3rd - 4rd stage

                                            IMG_6470.PNG

                                            does this occur with yours when you play ?

                                            any tips or advice ?
