              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

[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.

#               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.

#            Possible values: default, compat, fast, mame.
# oplrate: Sample rate of OPL music emulation. Use 49716 for highest quality (set the mixer rate accordingly).

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

                    (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

                                  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 ?

                                        sorta off topic ... but, i just play the 3DO version of Mad Dog McCree with the lr-opera emulator (in Retropie 4.6 on RPI4)

                                        Works fine, no complicated setup or problems ... just copy the iso/bin cue into the 3do folder, restart emulationstation and just play

                                            You'll be glad you did :) ... i got a Pi4 only a few weeks ago and am really happy with all the new games i can play on it compared to my Pi3 which couldn't or struggled to run.

                                            I'm kinda partial to the original "Crime Patrol" ... 3DO version runs good, but the Sega Saturn Prototype "Crime Patrol" is even better ! shoot and reload is button A and B (no moving the gunsight down to the bottom of the screen to reload) ... a lot easier to play :)
