Hello there! My name is Jack and am 17  , I am starting with hobby like this - old games and i need your help to start. I need a link to newest DOSBOX or something to run the games and how to configure it. Well, I have a DOSBOX right now with NC but not every game can run under it and sometimes there is no voice,

Name the specific games that don't run. Make sure the games' sound is configured correctly.
Also, not many games from back then featured digitized voice to begin with.

In dosbox.conf:
output=ddraw
fullscreen=true
fullresolution=1024x768
aspect=true

I think that something is wrong with my DOSBOX and I need to download something new.

There's not much choice in DOS emulators out there. It's either DOSBox... or DOSBox.

Next problem is how to turn the PC speaker volume down because when I was playing very old games PC speaker was so annoying that I couldn't play longer than 5 minutes  .

Look for the [mixer] and [speaker] sections in the config file. I don't remember if there's adjustable volume for the speaker or not.
Some speaker-using games may sound better with machine=tandy (as then they will use the Tandy-1000 sound system). For comparison, try listening to the main theme from Battletech: Crescent Hawks' Inception.
