No sound at all, from any application, usually traces to the Media Server or a driver-detection problem — here's how to distinguish the two and work through each.
Haiku's Media Kit models audio and video processing as a graph of connected nodes passing buffers to each other in real time — the same conceptual model professional media software still uses today.
A DOS game or application reports no sound, or the wrong sound, almost always tracing back to a mismatch between the BLASTER environment variable and the card's actual jumper or Plug-and-Play settings.
The game runs and looks fine, but the audio pops, crackles, or stutters. This is almost always an audio buffer or sync problem, not a broken emulator core.
