You may come to find out that when you load up your Quest for Glory Collection games on a computer running linux that it seems very quiet. This is because you have to actually install the games first to have the proper sound card settings that the dosbox client will recognize. I believe it emulates a sound blaster card. I'm making this specifically for linux users but if you are on Mac or Windows having this issue it should work a similar way, you just have to go find the appropriate files and run the setup the same way I present here (by adding it to the conf file which will run it within the dosbox environment).

Here's how you do it:

On the steam client, Browse to your local files for the collection using the gear icon. If you are using Lutris you can right click > browse files or if you are going to use the command line and vim or something you can CD to /yada/yada/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Quest for Glory Collection/.

Here you will see 5 folders named QG1/2/3/4/5. Start by going into QG1 and search for "single" to find the appropriate configuration file or you can navigate to QG1/DOSBOX and click on the dosboxXXXXXX_single.conf file which is basically the batch file that shows up when you launch the game.

You will see the variables :pqvga and :pqega where it launches the .exe file for the game. You will have to insert a new line that points to install.exe before it launches the game, so it'll look like this, k:

:pqvga
cls
install.exe
scidhuv.exe
exit

:pqega
cls
cd ega
install.exe
SCIV.EXE
exit

Feel free to copy/paste then save the file, don't close it yet, though. Run your game and select vga or ega and go through the install making sure to set the Audio to Sound Blaster. Once the install is done, the game will continue to launch and you should have sound. ~ Now erase the install.exe from the conf file and save it again. Reason being you don't want the installer to run every time, you only need to run it once and it'll be saved for that installation.

You have to do this both for each game. QF2-4 go by a lot quicker because they don't have both ega and vga options in the conf file and have the same exact installer menu. 5 doesn't even have a conf file that you need to change and should just work out of the box. QF2 has a peculiarity where they use "inst.exe" instead of "install.exe" Here is exactly what my QF2 looked like if you want to copy/paste it or just for reference. All I did was put inst.exe in the line before the game executable like last time. For QF2&4 you will put "install.exe" like with the first game.

!! Make sure you read the above paragraph before copy pasting !!

That's all you have to do. Have fun!
