Ok, so before locking this, I've already tried everything suggested in the README and it doesn't help.

Basically, when I run Duke Nukem 3D through latest DOSBox, I get this error:

"Playback failed, possibly due to an invalid or conflicting DMA channel. Make sure the 16-bit DMA channel is correct."

I've seen topics with the same issue. However, in none of them were the problem solved (mod usually locked the topic, saying to look at the README).

Please help! Thanks!

Do you often "help" people with messages as cryptic as this?

Run setup.exe and change your DMA channel in audio setup until it works correctly.

No, I close the threads if the answers are obvious or could be found in 2 minutes via google.

I guess you didn't play Duke Nukem 3D back in the day (and you know how to setup the game) nor bought it via Good Old Games (that made a installer that make your game runs fine).

Did you know that VOGONS doesn't suppor piracy?

Zup, unless it's a clear fact that it's about pirated software it's not fair to write all this, IMO
