What about IRQ5? Sound cards don't appear on here, as DOS doesn't recognise them. But it should tell you if something else is taking it. Did you reserve IRQ5 or 7 in the BIOS?

yeah it was that "Best dos / win 3.1 / win98 video card" thread spambot's vague relevance made the confusion to impulse thread deletion worse even though he was selling HD5450s which are obvious no-choices for the three OSes I know humans make mistakes, hence my harshness with big text in the post …

@AdamP - I think I'm getting somewhere, ran Aweutil, then Diagnose, everything went fine until it said "Failure to set IRQ7" Why does it want to set IRQ7? What's wrong with IRQ5? If possible, I would prefer to keep it at IRQ5. The other question I have is Diagnose still sets MPU-401 to P300, isn't …

I think it's as a result of my card being set to P300 instead of P330, but I can't seem to change it. If you're using FM or AWE32 General Midi, the MPU-401 port shouldn't have any effect. Another thought has occurred to me. Some games require a certain amount of conventional memory to be able to …

it does autodetect but inside the game you can select roland, adlib/sb, and pc speaker for sound and something similar for music not including adlib. My shareware version doesn't have roland. Is it only available on the full version? http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz180/adamplenty/wolf3d-1.jpg …

I have a demo of Wolf3D and I'm sure you can specify sound settings somewhere. I'm pretty sure it only supports FM though.

I don't suppose anybody has a Win98 driver for the Vortex Advantage AU8810 sound card? I've tried a couple that I've found on google but they don't seem to work. I've just uploaded an AU8810 driver. I don't know if it works, or if it's one you've already tried. However, I remember installing a …

You can also use something like an ESS Audiodrive. I had a couple and they both had good SBPro compatibility and worked with just about everything. Back to video cards... Which cards work with the SVGA driver in Windows 3.1? So far I know that the Matrox Mystique 220 works with it and it also has …

There are other things that vary with model numbers as well, such as the flawed DSP/hanging notes bug, and the ASP/CSP chip and chip socket. Another option is the Live!, which has SB16 emulation in DOS and Win98. But if you're that serious about DOS and Win3.1, go with a real ISA sound card. AFAIK, …
