 The game includes an ''INSTALL.EXE'' which sets the video and sound cards, however for the sound card, it reports a failure to verify the Sound Blaster, and other, cards. Setting the correct IRQ/DMA/port settings does not seem to help.
 Please update this article if you have information which will let this game work with sound and music.

 :Video, sound, and music all work fine after running "install.exe" and switching video to "VESA" and Sound to "Sound Blaster".
 :I've found the demo version of SimCity 2000 to be packaged without sound capabilities.  If you are not getting any sound at all, and running "install.exe" does not provide options for configuring sound, you may have the demo version.  The full version will have a "SOUND" subfolder, and will have options for configuring sound when running "install.exe"
