It's not a "dumping-problem" it's an "execution-problem". I spent a whole afternoon with this to run Tomb Raider 2 OST while playing and nothing worked. I ended grabbing my copy from steam and it runs well. With WDM driver now half life is playing the tracks while playing but in this case OST is …

Hey, Mine is a value CT4500. You might not have ran any games prior to Duke 3D, but just by running the Setup program and selecting a sound card may trigger the issue. Basically anything initializing/using the sound card may leave it in a state which may cause issues depending on how the program …

My hearing is not perfect but, I'm not hearing any cracking on the video you sent. I also have an AWE64 value and don't have any cracking sounds in Duke 3D either (at least none that I could identify). The only issue I have with this card is that sometimes if I open a game which uses the AWE32 …

"you should not be doing this". Yes, and I stand by what I said. :-) May I remind you: [..] you'll either further damage the board aesthetically (which you've already done), or you'll end up damaging it completely. [...] IMO, the solder job looks terrible and it's a shame for such a nice board... …

One last question, in your experience, the solder points in the board always comes perfect from the manufacturer or sometimes is possible to find one that is not so well?, i mean the lead/structure from the inside. From manufacturer its all fresh copper with no oxidation so joints are almost always …

Aladdin V chipset is incompatible with these LG DVD drives if you use the ALi IDE driver. It's not a Windows fault. You have two options: 1. Use the standard IDE driver from Win98, It'll work just fine. 2. Use a different DVD ROM drive, not an LG one. Can be probably, are you completely sure?, do …
