Adjusting Volume for a 1989 game

I recently found a copy of Super Solvers: Treasure Planet! for sentimental reasons, and it works great on XP (surprisingly) except that I cannot adjust the volume, and of course its extremely loud. I've turned down every volume I could find under "Sounds and Audio Device Properties" in control panel that I could find. I also cannot adjust the volume in game, it is either on or off (and I'd like it to be on). Any suggestions?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ya it uses the internal speaker like a series of beeps. I decided to use the date of a game to say that since I didn't know the common term used for the source of the beeps.

I'm not a huge fan of DOSBox, but if there's no other way I'll do it. Thanks for the replies/solution guys.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Why is that? It's easy to setup, very powerful and compatibility is quite good. Letting very old game run natively on current hardware is generally a bad idea, because of timing issues.
Everything you say is definitely true, but I'm usually setting up these old games for younger siblings who don't know how to type directories every time they want to run a game. I usually have to put it under games in the start menu for them. That's my only problem with dosbox.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Uhmmmm, you know that even on Windows you have the possibility to script things?!?

I'm currently using DOSBox to play BlueBytes' Albion. I can run it with a simple doubleclick. Executes DOSBox with a custom configure script and proceeds to load the game executable inside the emulator.
I really don't see your problem...
The problem is I haven't learned how to do the scripting you're talking about. I suppose I'll look into that after this semester is over..

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
