Haha... Didn't imagine that I would pull up this again. 😬 I built in another Soundcard in my Pentium III system - the terratec gold 16/96... Put needed lines into autoexec.bat and reboot. And everything works music and speech What lines did you put in your autoexec.bat, as I still have issue with …

Also why only MIDI works as music source? I have tried SB and SB Pro in the Setup.exe, but no music can be heard. Only when I choose MIDI, I can hear music on my Roland Sc-55 MKII. Thanks!

UPDATE: I just ran AWE64 DOS based diagnose utility, and it fails at setting IRQ 5 to my card. I even moved the Adaptec to a different PCI slot, and it did not help.

What happens if you try to run a game that does require SoftMPU? (don't know what old stuff you play, but I assume you're running SoftMPU for a reason - I generally test for intelligent mode with Ultima 6) As I mentioned, all MT-32 games sound great in MUNT. The reason I mentioned Quake was to make …

The SCSI controller probably shares a resource with the sound card? OBSERVATION 1) I just tested the system with Quake, and inserted the actual CD-ROM (has Trent Reznor's Red-book audio): Both sound effects and CD audio works flawlessly.

What kind of display adapter do you got in the system? I know this might sound strange, but PCI bios settings can cause ISA cards to lockup the system or not be detected. I have an AGP Rage Pro 128 . OBSERVATION 1) I just tested the system with Quake, and inserted the actual CD-ROM (has Trent …

Thanks, but the website looks very fishy, and it would generate a download in 5 HOURS. Its scam-site to me. So be it.

Dear all, It's been a while that I haven't used any SCSI devices / PCI host adapters (back in the early 90s!), so my memory is a bit rusty: When I have CD-ROM drives connected to a SCSI PCI host adapter, and install its drivers, then upon the next reboot I should be able to see the CD-ROM drive, …
