Try DOSBOX... Unless you play some 3D shooters (and Larry is certainly not that 😀 ) you will be fine with it...
You just could have saved the money paid for Audiophile 2496... I have never heard about it, so I guess it was something expensive...

Well it was £54, but I wanted it for the 2496 low latency as I also use it for music. The soundblaster audigy 2 value I had did the same, but it didn't run in Windows 98 which is why I reallly bought it, although it doesn't look like i can get a compatible card that can do both. Does dosbox in 98 run better than in XP?

I think that DOSBOX runs a bit quicker in WXP, but I t guess it is not an important difference...
I used it both in W98SE and WXP without any problems...

Is your card a Soundblaster and if not, did you have to take extra steps to get the sound working with a non-soundblaster soundcard?

DOSBox doesn't care what kind of sound card you have as long as it works in Windows. It emulates a virtual Sound Blaster (as well as other DOS sound cards) and translates it into standard Windows sound calls.

The best I've gotten so far is the music to play in Win9x, however the speech will not play whatsoever. The game runs fine in XP except for the music tempo changes throughout as I play, and I'd prefer it in 98 as the music stays at the corect tempo.
