You mean the Amp setting? It's already on max. but that doesn't make much difference. The X2GS has a lower volume output compared to a DB50XG or a Turtle Beach Rio. I want to tweak it to get it to that level if possible.

Is there a way (modding?) to boost the volume of the X2GS? My other sound devices (ESS, Turtle Beach, Gravis) have these louder type line outputs. Amp setting on max. isn't enough. It would make it a bit easier to mix and match the volume settings.

Waveblaster volume is indeed tied with the Synthesizer volume with the ALS card. I remember with my ALS card and a DOS install that the joystick port had to be disabled for something MIDI related to work. Do those cards output MIDI through the joystick port and Waveblaster connector simultaneously? …

What kind of waveblaster board are you connecting? Does this card supply both 5v and 12v?

I think the muffled audio problem is only occuring when a game uses Human Machine Interface drivers.

Just now a succesful POST with a GX1 300 Mhz (PGA). As stated by feipoa these are quite uncommon in PGA format. I wonder if the 333 Mhz version exists at all in PGA.

I've got a potential PSU already. I'm more concerned with the CPU and the mainboard.

Completely passively with a passively cooled PSU. Is it possible? I worry that I would be slowly killing the system by doing so. However I had a thin client with one of these cooled by nothing. https://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/MediaGX/Cyrix-MediaGX%20GXm-266GP%202.9V.html The later models of the GXm …

Ok so to be clear: HardMPU (WT) as-is doesn't support MIDI In. The project page states "playback only" and in another talk I had with somebody knowledgeable on the subject I was also made aware that it's playback only.

Does the HardMPU-WT support MIDI in? I'm looking for a host for a Turtle Beach Rio that uses that pin for feedback.

Does your mainboard support PnP? I don't have an 1868 around unfortunately. It might try to check available resources and runs into a conflict, not sure. Hopefully somebody with an 1868 can chime in.

I think the first action the installer does is copying files instead of config. Might be disk io related?

Does the 1868 have the MPU port enabled under DOS? If not, it might be Windows trying to activate it and running into a conflict. Check the ouput of ESSCFG.

Uhmm no idea. I would suspect the voltages because it would affect both cards, but you checked those already. The chance of having two cards with two problematic wavetable headers is rather low...? Can a grounding issue cause this?

Is the volume different when you connect the X2GS to USB and run the line-out to the line-in of your cards?
