Hi All,

This isn't a programming question but is related to Allegro.

I have downloaded a number of demos and games which use Allegro, including
earlier today, Neil Chinnery's excellent Caveman game.

However with all these pieces of software the sound that is generated comes
out as a cacaphony.  This is in no way a slight of the software writers,
its got to be something up with my machine or setup. 

My blaster variable is currently set up as:

BLASTER=A220 I11 D3

My sound setup seems to work for other games (e.g.: Quake, Red Alert) and 
software.

If it is of any note I am running the software in a DOS box under Windows 95.

Could someone please explain how I can get the sound to work correctly as I
would like to enjoy these games in their entirety.  I don't actually use
Allegro (yes I know I'm a sinner) so I don't know anything about how it
needs the system set up.

Thanks in advance

John
