For all the Heroes of might and magic 2 lovers out there. Found a solution to the sound lagg problem.

Klick manage insatllation in GOG--> Heroes 2 --> show folder ---> dosboxhomm2.conf
"open this folder with note pad and change (cputype=auto)." I have copied the whole segment and but the part you need to change at the bottom. I have set mine to auto and it worked. You can allso try manually numbers if that doesent work.

Good luck and remember to save change. :)


[cpu]
# core: CPU Core used in emulation. auto will switch to dynamic if available and appropriate.
# Possible values: auto, dynamic, normal, simple.
# cputype: CPU Type used in emulation. auto is the fastest choice.
# Possible values: auto, 386, 386_slow, 486_slow, pentium_slow, 386_prefetch.
# cycles: Amount of instructions DOSBox tries to emulate each millisecond.
# Setting this value too high results in sound dropouts and lags.
# Cycles can be set in 3 ways:
# 'auto' tries to guess what a game needs.
# It usually works, but can fail for certain games.
# 'fixed #number' will set a fixed amount of cycles. This is what you usually need if 'auto' fails.
# (Example: fixed 4000).
# 'max' will allocate as much cycles as your computer is able to handle.
#
# Possible values: auto, fixed, max.
# cycleup: Amount of cycles to decrease/increase with keycombo.(CTRL-F11/CTRL-F12)
# cycledown: Setting it lower than 100 will be a percentage.

core=auto
cputype=auto

You should share that in the game-specific forum, anything posted in the general discussion forum is as good as lost after a couple days due to the forum broken search engine.

i actually play heroes 4 with a wrapper too, such a delight to have it upscaled from HD to 2K, i won't recommend any higher resolutions though
