In the installation, it gives several options for sound cards. I had no idea what to pick, so I went with ultrasound because picking soundblaster wanted IRQs and channels and I don't know what else. Changing it back to soundblaster with all the default options worked. Thanks

If you are supper attached to the gravis ultra sound then you can enable it in dosbox by setting the gus=false to true and the sound blaster-true to false. But I generally think sound blaster is the best.
Also, if all else fails just mash enter for the IRQs and stuff. I have generally found that the game's default is the dosbox default. If you run into problems then go check the conf file...
~edit, added short trouble shooting guide to the OP.
well thats the thing, I'm not "attached" to any of them because I don;t know what any of them are. The only reason I picked Ultrasound was because I only had to mash enter twice as opposed to 4 or 5 times

They are different sound cards. Dosbox emulates different sound cards differently. On your system one may sound better than another. Sometimes gravis may sound better, other times soundblaster may sound better. Generally though soundblaster is always a good default.

tl;dr it's possible to confuse pipes to warp you to the upper-right corner of 1-1 (i've started running with warps although i haven't had time lately, gotten down to 2:12) and skip large portions of levels, the biggest ones are in 2-1 (skips the tetris autoscroller) and 2-4 (skips the boss completely)
I did not play that game. I did play floor 13, which is a fucking awesome game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwgBsmoiX0w
(someone didn't set their sound card right... always choose sound blaster.)
MOO! One of the guys at my board game group was a producer of MOO 1. I remember spending days and days on the game, but I have to play it cool with him.
I just learned that one of the people I play board games with every week was the guy responsible for all of Frog's English dialogue in Chrono Trigger.
It brought up great memories of the first RPG I ever put more than 100 hours into. (then there was Disgaea, and my 1500-hr save, but that's not retro so it doesn't belong here)

I suck at platform games. I love the idea of them, but I simply suck. I wish I could get into classic Nintendo games and stuff like that but I never could get my head around them. I fall more towards strategy/shooter/simulation games.

I bought Rayman from GOG. It's really tough, don't get me wrong, but it's tough because of good design, not bad design. It's usually extremely easy to figure out where to go, what you did wrong, etc. A nice break from games that depend on ambiguity for fake difficulty.
I'll explain it to you. You have to get someone else to understand it for you.
