Warcraft II Battle.net Edition Mac M1 Sound
Hi all, for this game that seems to get basically 5 star performance for most people, mine comes up with choppy audio. I've tried changing the Audio settings to be different sample rates and MacOS does not seem to have bit depth options any more. I came to remember that there is usually a sound card setup in these older DOS games and in this case I did find confirmation of that, but haven't actually found the exe yet.
My question is, with Heroic, how would I actually set game settings? Is there a way of running the setup inside the bottle so to speak? I can see how to do it on Whisky, but not on Heroic. Thanks.

The Battle.net edition was Windows-native I believe. It kind of sucks the original DOS version wasn't provided instead, or as an option, but I suspect that was ActiBlizz's call, not GOG's

Oh right, so that is why there is no options setting in the menu. I used to have the DOS version, no idea what happened to it. Interestingly this does have tools for Novell's IPX/SPX which sounds more like the DOS version to me - who knows. Any idea what I might need to do to get the sound right? I've not really used wine much though do have lots of IT experience.
It seems to be working now, I think it was changing the emulation to Windows XP, which I thought I'd done before, but had to click it again. Nice!
