I never had much problems with my vibra tbh, should be able to prevent the is to handle IRQs and be ok.. Same with my AWE64 here. Normally these cards should be able to set any free IRQ, DMA and port resources but sometimes the auto-configuration causes some unusual things to the CTPNP.CFG file. so …

btw i can buy CT2950 is this card better than my 4170? Shall i buy? Is 2950 ok for old dos games? In regard to HDMA compatibility yes. However you may want to stay away from that revision since it suffers from single-cycle DMA clicking and if you intend to use the MPU-401 support in the future. …

i just changed in ctcu irq to 7 and both dma to 1 ... after restart result is irq 10 dma 0 ... lol wtf?? :D There is a reason why PnP sometimes got called Plug and Pray. Could you display the content of CTPNP.CFG file located at C:\CTCM? On the BIOS try setting IRQ 5, 9, 10 and 11 to "Legacy ISA". …

The CT4170 is one of the latest SB16 to have been released and that card doesn't support proper HDMA unlike the other ones so you just have to use the same value as the DMA such as H1 if the DMA channel is 1. This also affects compatibility with some games that takes advantage of 16-bit mixing. For …

This issue is related to the 8x14 font which was removed on certain video cards as a way of freeing up space for VBE BIOS implementations. The S3 Virge/DX that you mentioned likely have a VBE 2.0 BIOS implementation (which lacks these fonts) instead of the more common VBE 1.2 BIOS. For these cards …

I'd say this is actually the perfect combination. SBLive is much better card all round really. Only thing the SB16 has going for it is that dos games really want a ISA card so would only use it for dos. I'm not sure if you can enable digital over the SB16, I've never tried, as long as you have the …
