Thank you. That finally did it. The card's features now work under Windows 98SE. The 3D feature works great as well as the equalizers. There was occasional stutter, plus I got a BSOD when trying to record. Most likely 'cause I'm using a 24-year-old HDD with 1GB of space left xD. Anyway, I can make …

Testing complete. Regretably, absolutely none of the Control Panel features work with my Windows 98SE. I'll test again tomorrow, but on Windows XP.

Thanks. I'll give it a try right now.

Ok, the PSC605 PCI sound card from Philips was delivered to me today. The only drivers I could find were for 98 and XP, and they're getting scarce online. I tried this card on Windows 98, and, unsurprisingly, no 3D Depth or 3D Wide showed up under Volume Control. Is it the driver I'm using, because …

Well, I can't find this "Philips Acoustic Edge" for sale on the entire internet, so I'll have to settle for YMF754 when I have the ca$h.

Thank you for the info. I forgot to mention that turning on the "3D Depth" will slightly increase the volume at the same time, but it's at a constant +15%dB; it doesn't become louder the higher the slider. I'll look into this card for now. However, I have sensitive hearing and wouldn't want to mess …

It looks like the screenshot. It does have a button toggle, but it also has a slider to determine how far you want the stereo audio to be seperated. I doubt it's an A3D feature, but can't confirm that yet. I'm POSITIVE, however, that it's not EAX. Judging by the screenshot, I'd say that Avance Logic …

Of all the features a Windows 9x-to-XP compatible sound card has, 3D Depth seems to be the one that nobody even knows exists. What is does is spreads left and right stereo channels even further. I've only found option under two motherboards: ECS's "K7SEM" and Intel's "D845EPI/D845GSVR." I've sound …

One month later, CD Drive still won't play music through games. Anyone got a solution?

The card finally arrived earlier last week. I've been testing, and the MIDIs do indeed use the synth. As for DOS games, sometimes I could get sound, but when I couldn't, I followed the instructions in this topic: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=50844 (vorob's final post). It works! The 3D …

My Intel D845EPI/D845GSVR motha'board just stopped working after I turned it off after putting a used PCI sound card in there. I also had a USB flash drive inserted because I forgot to remove it in advance. I couldn't get past POST to the XP boot screen because of the drive. The board powered on …

OK, so I ordered the sound card earlier this month, but due to an error on USPS's side, it'll be delayed until around 6 days. I'll post an update after I've tested the card for myself.

(checks out ESS SOLO1). I'll need to wait 'till I have the cash, but it should be worth it.

To be honest, I only recently found out that FM music in old computer games is a thing. As a SEGA Genesis player, I was intrigued. I'm one of the only people who prefers Genesis music over SNES, so that's why Inquired about FM synth (or OPL as the web would call it). As for MIDI, I just found out …

OK. Thanks. As soon as I can. I'll give it a try. Also, it turns out my board is 3.0C, but that doesn't really mean much =P.

Hi! Just registered here, so this is my first post. Anyway, I'm thinking about buying a PCI Sound Card with FM synthesis capabilities for my Windows 98SE. I use it mostly as a retro gaming computer. What I'd like to know is: 1: What can the FM synthesis be used for besides games, and will PCI sound …
