Glad that you got it working. DOSbox does a good job of emulating soundblaster for use with MOO2.

I recommend turning off the background music. The DOS verion's music stutters a lot. For single player, I use Orion95 instead.

Is it possible to make it so Orion95.exe doesn't crash after awhile? I switched to using 1.40 because of the game liked to crash a lot and my sound decided to stutter...

Thinking about it some more, I think my sound only stutters when it is trying to run MoOII in Dos mode... Hmm.
