Reverb on Audigy 2 ZS

Posted on 2021-06-29, 22:15

I have an Audigy 2 ZS that has some odd behavior. I'm using Windows 98SE, and with the WDM drivers, it sounds fine. However, I have some games that crash with this driver, so I'd rather use the VxD drivers. For some reason, with these drivers, I get an odd reverb effect on anything connected to the …

Re: GPU for 440BX machine with 133 MHz bus?

Posted on 2021-06-17, 20:21

[...] Yes, 440BX usually works fine at 133 MHz. But after you've thoroughly tested 10, 15, 20, 25 boards... at some point you'll encounter one that isn't 100% stable at this frequency (it could be either a chipset silicon lottery problem, or just poor build quality of that specific board). Second …

Another potential option is to get a Coppermine compatible slotket (if you are not already using one) and get one of the modified CPUs described below . Hmm... that's an interesting option, but it also seems kind of risky. I don't know if the AX6BC's VRMs support the proper voltage. I'm also not …

Another potential option is to get a Coppermine compatible slotket (if you are not already using one) and get one of the modified CPUs described below . Oh man I wish I had access to a plug and play tualatin board, even just for testing CPUs. Got a 1.1A that I don't know if it works, and there's a …

Since making this post, I've obtained a Ti4200 card. This definitely runs a lot more stable with the 133 MHz bus than the MX440 did. However, there are still issues. Most games actually work just fine, but there are still cases where I run into crashes. Oddly, the most reliable way I've found to …

Re: SC-55ST GS/GM behavior

Posted on 2021-05-27, 21:42

1. With your SC-55 you can meet such problematic Midi files since all the GS Midis that were written specifically for later SC devices (SC-88, SC-88Pro, SC-8820 etc.) can contain Bank+Program combinations that do not exist on SC-55. Also there are Midi files in the wild that are simply badly …

Re: SC-55ST GS/GM behavior

Posted on 2021-05-27, 19:51

Yeah, the thread referenced by Pierre is about the same problem. It seems everyone listens to canyon.mid and passport.mid nowadays :) To answer your question: Your version of passport .mid sends Bank Select + Program Change messages that are not valid on your SC-55. Invalid bank+program …

SC-55ST GS/GM behavior

Posted on 2021-05-26, 20:36

I thought GS was a superset of GM, but given the way my SC-55ST is behaving, that doesn't seem to be the case? When I first power it on, or when I send a GS reset to the device, things like passport.mid are missing parts (most noticeable about 24 seconds in): https://1drv.ms/u/s! …

In your case, it is going to be hard to isolate the issue without either trying your video card in another 89MHz system or trying another video card, unfortunately. Unfortunately, I don't have another such system on hand, or even another AGP card, so I'm not sure I have much of a choice but to try …

Re: GPU for 440BX machine with 133 MHz bus?

Posted on 2021-05-21, 18:03

The assumption being made here is that the crashes are due to the video card because Direct3D happens to be in use when said crashes occur. However, the crashes may have a number of potential other causes a) Is the RAM able to run at 133MHz b) Is the board/CPU even stable running at 133MHz FSB with …

GPU for 440BX machine with 133 MHz bus?

Posted on 2021-05-20, 16:49

I'm looking for a GPU for a 440BX machine with the bus running at 133 MHz. Infamously, this configuration causes the AGP bus to be overclocked to 89 MHz, and the GeForce MX440 I have right now crashes when using Direct3D in this configuration. Can anyone recommend a better card for this …

Re: Unusual Aureal Vortex 2, Not Working

Posted on 2021-03-09, 22:26

I had this problem with that card before. Its the driver. I forgot which driver to use but the one you are using is causing the lockup. Do you have any idea which one it might be? I've tried a whole bunch of different drivers, including all the ones on the CD (yes, there are multiple for some …

Unusual Aureal Vortex 2, Not Working

Posted on 2021-03-09, 01:17

I'm having trouble with this unusual Aureal Vortex 2 card in my AOpen AX6BC board: https://imgur.com/a/N5gsdoi I have a fresh install of Windows 98SE, and whenever I try installing any version of the AU8830 driver, the system freezes up. This happens no matter what PCI slot I have the card in. Can …

NEC XR385 (DB60XG) MT-32 Emulation

Posted on 2014-04-12, 20:21

I've read that the DB60XG supports an MT-32 emulation mode. However, I can't get it to work on my NEC XR385. When I try to run "GSPLAY MT32", I get "No MT-32 reset - Device does not support MT-32 patches". I'm pretty sure I have GSPLAY configured properly since it does play MIDI files through the …
