Sound Blaster + MT-32
By default, the game's SETUP.COM file only allows the selection of a single audio device. This will result in some audio effects missing or background music being played out of the PC speaker, depending on the audio device selected.
It is possible to have both Sound Blaster and Roland MT-32 by manually editing GRAPH.INI.
