That worked!! For anyone else stuck using AMD K7 with SETMUL, download this: https://www.uwe-sieber.de/files/pciset.zip Then use the following written by mockingbird: pciset 0305 1106 55 00000100 00000100 I recommend putting this in a BAT file. EDIT: I just wanted to point out that this register is …

Thank you! I was just reading about WPCREdit 😀 Your post saves me lots of time/research. I'm going to give PCISET a try. -Brian

But unfortunately on KT7-A it's not enough since it's a desktop and not a mobile board. You also have to manually tune your chipset for Setmul to be able to set multipliers on the fly: https://web.archive.org/web/20170822100906/http://www.cpuheat.wz.cz:80/html/Tweaks.htm Also been playing around …

Hey Guys, Has anyone managed to get a Soundscape Elite working with a Pentium 4 build? I've tried many motherboards/configurations. I'd be very curious to hear if you got this card to work with Socket 478 or LGA 775! -Brian

It is possible that the machine is simply too fast for the Ensoniq card. That's a good observation. I'll try slowing-down the machine and see if that corrects the issue. …

Hey Guys, I have the same build. I'm trying to get a sound card to work with this machine. I have the Ensoniq Soundscape Elite, with ESP daughterboard. All of the IRQ and base address checks pass. However, I keep getting DMA errors. I've tried all of the DMAs (0, 1 and 3). And tried setting DMA mode …

I finally found a workable solution. I had to move the cards to different slots and tweak the BIOS settings. I now have an Audigy 2 ZS working in this build. Thank you so much for all of the great input and ideas! -Brian

I did not realize this reset procedure existed. I'll give it a try. My card is "stuck" on using DMA 2, which is not great if you want to use a floppy drive. -Brian

This board is such an overkill for windows 98 I'm amazed that it works at all :-) PCI-X slots are 3.3V only. According to the manual of this board, there are 2 PCI-X buses: one with 2 slots and one with a single slot. If you can find a card which is fine with 3.3V only try this: Try putting your …

Very interested in this project! While I'm here... would anyone happen to have a dump of the firmware? I have an original GOLD, and the firmware went bad. I've ordered some replacement chips... but, I need a clean dump to reflash. Hoping someone can help me out! -Brian

There is apparently a Dell PCI-X SoundBlaster card, in the X-Fi family, but I can't confirm it's authenticity and I don't understand why Dell would ever request such a product from Creative Labs. https://jbsdevices.com/item/dell-0ct602-network-adapter?catchall&gclid= …

Correct, I am referring to PCI-X. So far, I've found only 1 PCIe sound card that works in Windows 98... and, it's ok, at best. I have been finding that some sound cards, with universal 32-bit PCI, do NOT play nice in 3.3V slots. Many of the Aureal Vortex cards are afflicted by this design challenge. …

Hey Guys, I'm looking for recommendations for a sound card that's fully-compatible with PCI-X. Unfortunately, I've found-out the hard way that just because the card physically fits into the slot, does not mean it's going to work properly. Ideally, I'm looking for something that supports Windows 98. …

Hey Cloudschatze - Thank you for your reply! My tests have not yet been extensive. So far, I've tested only with Doom. I'll try some other programs and games. I'm intrigued by your software workaround idea. Would this be in the form of a game patch? Or more of a driver? I've recently revisited C/C++ …

Hey Guys - I recently acquired a PA Studio XL SCSI card. Has anyone played around with the MPU-401 emulation? I attached a wavetable daughterboard for MIDI. It "works"... but, I'm getting a lot of hanging notes. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing? Or am I doing something wrong? -Brian

Apologies for the necrobump. But, I just wanted to thank @elianda for the ESS initialization trick. This helped me get the card to detect and initialize properly in DOS! -Brian
