Per default, AGI games do only play PC speaker music.  There are some unofficial drivers or unofficial AGI interpretors that will let you hear the 3-channel sound instead.  I recommend playing AGI games through ScummVM.

I had the same problem, but it's easy fixed for those of us who can travel back in our memories to the days of DOS when these problems were more prevalent.

You'll need to open the directory where PQ1VGA is installed, and open in notepad the file RESOURCE.CFG.

Once thats open you'll see two lines near the top

soundDrv  = ADL.DRV
audioDrv  = AUDNONE.DRV

Note that the information after the = will probably be something else. Change them to what I've got there and you're all set to go, playing the game with the awesomeness of Adlib music.

Hope that helps.

PQ1VGA, right AmusicDude?

I think Asianmusic has the PQ1VGA and the sound is not working.
What platform Asian?
You have to explain better if you want a solution.

Remember Klytos, that was our platform at the time and AmusicDude may have a newer soundcard.

Umm... I don't mean to be rude, but I did not understand that statement at all.  I realize your English may be poor, but could you say it again?
