Sorry if this is a known topic that has already been flogged to death, but I
just got here. ;-)

Used to enjoy Duke Nukem a couple of years ago, but then got myself a Voodoo
1 (yep that long ago). Ever since then I haven't been able to get Duke to
run in DOS only mode. If I try it in a DOS window from Windows it works
fine, but I can't get the resolution above standard VGA. If I drop down to
real DOS, the game refuses to run at all, saying it can not initialise the
sound (I have a SoundBlaster).

That was over a year ago, since then my system has completely been rebuilt,
now with a TNT2, but still with exactly the same problems.

Any known fix ???

TIA
