Error running DOS game in DOS - "unable to initiate your audio hardware!"

[katuuuz]

I have a technical difficulty. When trying to run KQ5 in DOS the game boots, but says "unable to initialize your audio hardware." then the sierra splash screen shows and sparkles with no audio, and then DOS locks up. I had a similar difficulty with Police Quest 4, i solved the problem by configuring my msdos.sys file to GUI=0 Logo=0 so the pc boots to dos, and added command lines to my autoexec.bat enabling my soundcard driver, and dosmouse driver to install in dos without going to windows first. (thanks to kaze for the mouse). That fixed PQ4 and raised my hopes for KQ5, but to no avail. If anyone knows a way around this, please help me.
NOTE:
I don't have my kq5 cd, i have all files off the disc on my computer. and when Police Quest 4 wasn't working, it asked for the mouse IN game. after the mouse got fixed, it said audio error OUT OF game (DOS screen). KQ5 is delivering my audio error IN game.
also:
I've tried installing in DOS by typing "INSTALL" but after verifying my audio/video/controller options, my only choices are "view readme" "accept and save configuration" "make boot disk" and "exit to DOS". When I try to "make boot disk" i insert a blank floppy as prompted, and when DOS tries to open it's formatter, it says "insufficient space". I'm stuck!

please post your autoexec.bat and config.sys. what model soundcard are you using? are you sure that its dos drivers are loaded properly and working? does it work in other dos games/software? verify that its working with http://mpxplay.sourceforge.net.

yes it works with police quest 4.  but with pq4, the game locked out to a black dos screen and delivered the audio.cpp error there (before i entered the commands into autoexec.bat and config, now it works in pq4)...  with kq5 it delivers the error in the game.

CONFIG.SYS:

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS NOVCPI
DOS=HIGH, UMB

AUTOEXEC.BAT:

SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H7 P330 T6
SET SBPCI=C:\DOSDRV
C:\DOSDRV\SBLOAD
C:\DOSDRV\SBINIT.COM
C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE

C:\DOS\MOUSE

ok, i put the disc image on cd, and tried installing it to my HD from my D:\.  Installation went smoothly, but when i go to execute the game, it prompts me for King's Quest V disk 1?!
