Question about DosBox (MS-Dos emulator)

[AdamL]

I have a little problem. To kill time I sometimes play Skyroads, an MS-Dos game. Well, there's no volume option on the game and I like to listen to music while I play. Is there any way to "mute" an application (maybe through terminal?). I figured I'd ask just in case there is. Thanks.

Well ... I'm not a mac user but I use DOSBox... us Windows people have a dosbox.conf that has this section:

[mixer]
# nosound -- Enable silent mode, sound is still emulated though.
# rate -- Mixer sample rate, setting any devices higher than this will
# probably lower their sound quality.
# blocksize -- Mixer block size, larger blocks might help sound stuttering
# but sound will also be more lagged.
# prebuffer -- How many milliseconds of data to keep on top of the blocksize.

nosound=false
rate=22050
blocksize=2048
prebuffer=10


If you have the same, just set "nosound=true". 🙂
