I have a Dosemu 1.4.0 installed on a freshly installed Debian Squeeze (i.e. testing) install. For some reason, the internal speaker isn't working in X but works fine when run from the Linux console. X is using Gnome on the desktop. I'm running Dosemu with "sudo dosemu -s", mostly because that solved my problems with accessing the parallel port. I messed around quite a bit on different settings for $_speaker but nothing seems to work. When I have $_speaker="native" I get something like "Native speaker access not allow" which, by what I have read, it what is supposed to happen. When I have $_speaker="emulated", I get "not allowing speaker port access" which doesn't seem right to me. I'm attaching the entire log below. You help is greatly appreciated.
