Were these cards hooked up to the same screen? I've seen some sparks come of VGA cables connected to projectors and such. Make sure your screen is grounded and doesn't leak any voltage through the cable.

Atlantis: The Lost Tales is know for disk access woes. Also the symptoms when running Virtua Cop makes me think it's an disk access problem somehow. Are there any DMA settings in 95 you can check?

There are some members here that own the Compaq card which has an Interwave AKC. Hopefully they can help out.

Getting the revision data is not enough in this case right? Because Impulse Tracker displays the revision data. From the Impulse Tracker source: IWID DB "AMD Interwave, Revision " RevisionLetter DB " ", 13 DB "Port ", 0FDh, "Xh, ", 0FDh, "Dk Memory", 0 IWID2 DB "AMD Interwave, Revision " …

That config file belongs to another game, my bad. I landed on that page through a search engine, assuming it was the correct title. When I check the manual I see this: "Some sound cards may be advertised as being 100% Sound Blastercompatible but still may not work with The Last Express. This is …

There are no signs or labels anywhere? If you have a dump of the BIOS you can use a hexeditor to look for strings. Different BIOSes use different tools I'm afraid. I only have a bit of experience with Award BIOSes where some features are disabled by the OEM.

According to Moby Games it supports Sound Blaster 16 and Sound Blaster Pro but I see lots of mentions of audio trouble with people running the GOG version. Review pages mention "Sound Blaster 16 or 100% 16-bit compatible. On DOSBox.com I saw a snippet of the config file: [DIGITAL] DeviceName = Sound …

ModBin could be an alternative for Award BIOS systems. This can enable options in the BIOS where as TweakBIOS writes to chipset registers.

An update for those who might stumble upon this thread with similar problems: I switched disks and it fixed some of the problems for a short time. But the crackling came back upon restart a day later. I've now switched PSU's and the crackling in Tyrian 2000 is completely gone. ROTT sound effects …

I would inspect the DSP and double check the jumpers in that case. All parts in place around the DSP? download/file.php?id=27397&mode=view

Used a new disk in my setup and the symptoms changed. The GUS now sounds ok but the system hangs. My CF cards seem to be all damaged.

It's for a DOS/Windows 3.11 machine. I found the drivers but no documentation. As I plan to do SB in hardware I thought it would be fun to add Ensoniq support as long it doesn't conflict with other hardware or hijacks the Adlib port for that horrible FM it does.

Replaced the RAM but Duke hung on LOADING right away. Guitar sound was stuck as well. Starting to think this is all disk IO related.

So I've got this 440EX board with a Celeron 300A now. I tested the board initially with a Celeron 266 and the GUS was running fine. I was super happy that High DMA was working and MegaEM could use NMI. But now I'm running into problems with crackles in the sound: - Duke Nukem 3D (1.3D and 1.5) have …
