I'm unable to configure a sound card in Archimedean Dynasty - via neither automatic detection nor manual configuration - under DOSBox v0.70. Configuring the sound card under v0.65 worked flawlessly.

I've attached a screenshot of the error message.

1.Motherboard - ASUS A8N-SLI Premium
2.Processor type and speed - AMD Athlon64 FX-57
3.Amount and type of RAM - Corsair TwinX 2048MB 3200XL-PT (4/512MB)
4.Video board w/ RAM amount and type - BFG GeForce 7800 GTX 256MB PCIE - SLI
5.Sound board - Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS 64MB PCI
6.Operating system - Windows XP Professional SP2
7.Game name (and version, if applicable) - Archimedean Dynasty v1.120 (Though I don't think the setup program is updated by the v1.120 patch)
8.Description of problem - See above & attached screenshot
9.Reproducibility of problem - Every time
10.Sound mode used - n/a
11.Video mode - Software
12.Version of emulator - DOSBox v0.70
13.Steps already attempted to solve the problem - Tried every sound card choice, and tried only using the mouse to navigate through the setup program as per forum advice.

Thanks for the suggestions!

After leaving core=normal and setting cycles=500, I ran setup.exe (is it better to just run setsound.exe?) and it was able to detect the soundblaster 16.

The game ran too slowly at cycles=500, however, so I set cycles=auto and ran ADD4G2.exe and it worked, sound and all.

Now I'm just wondering if GliDOS will work with AD. That would be awesome.
