I am not impressed by your reversing skills. But I've mentioned that reversing of the real mode AWEUTIL will be very useful in regard to its obscure problem when dealing with large SBKs. There you won't have to deal with peculiarities of IA32...Only 8086 instruction set is used in it. You should be …

Any GUS samples of the audio output of this card? Any sounding differences with the new version of the InterWave chip?

Why be good at all with you , impudent dude, that had sent me an ultimatum to publish the source within 24 hrs? You deserve not source but kick.

No, but you can DIY now since DOS32AWE's source code is kind of up there. It is in fact based on DOS32A 9.1.2, so you should have no problem finding which part of DOS32A does that and putting your changes in a fork of DOS32AWE. Most of the source should be basically the same. I haven't gotten …

AWEUTIL's MPU-401 emulation for the EMU8K only works with real mode games without relying on any third-party utility. AWEUTIL's documentation confirms this. Why can't DOS?

In computer science there is no such thing like "stock" drivers. But imagine what -- it is exactly the Creative's TSRs that are doing the same job. The rest is just an alternative DOS Extender variation.

the AWE64 is limited to SBK soundfonts and can only use them on older real-mode games. They won't work with later protected mode games such as Doom and Duke3D. Edit by Dominus to get rid of the personal attacks: use this new utility and it works after all https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=62 …

You are free to debug, reverse, waste your time and effort and write your own utilities to solve your problems. They are not mine nor do I intend to provide further development on my projects published in this forum. You know why.

Will check later if bug of detecting some ESS 18xx cards is fixed but here it is - no need of external clouds for a tiny file like that that size is several times less than contemporary fatware loads on a single average web page. (Edit: file removed by Dominus)

And thanks for taking the time to come in and contribute some knowledge, arvid. Some of us, at least, appreciate it. Arvid, the only minor contribution you could have done to this thread hadn't been done. Instead you just downloaded and used what was readily available by me as a product and my …

Make sure you are using the latest AWEUTIL version 1.36. The same filenames of the soundfont you discuss do not mean that the actual files you have are identical.

I'd suggest you to use initially only the default sound fonts for troubleshooting. They should sound especially the GM one like the default AWE32 support in games and they load almost instantly. Then you can focus on the exact sound font that causes problem. Offtopic -- your machines are quite slow …

Likely a completely different issue. Which model of the AWE card are you using and how many amount of RAM it has installed? Does loading SoundFonts elsewhere (such as using SBK or SF2 on Windows 9x) works fine on that AWE card? I have two cards that I have tested in two different systems. SB32 PNP …
