Hi there!

You have a few choices:

Firstly the default MIDI port for AWE64 IS 330. So you must have changed it. Are you running Windows 98 or proper MS-DOS?

Secondly Sierra games often require an intelligent mode MPU interface. Check out Soft MPU it will fix everything: SoftMPU

Good luck!

That's Windows for you.

You can go to device manager, find the Sound Blaster, go to resources and set them manually.

Everytime i use DOS mode i have too use CTMBBS to set the correct ports for my sound card in DOS, then i have to use the mixer to enable line in and turn up the volume on it, finally i have to use softmpu with /SB:220 /IRQ:7 /MPU:330. Is there a way i can automate this, maybe using a batch file? I've never used a batch file.

Sure!

Please tell us in what folders CTCM, AWEUTIL and SOFTMPU are located on your machine.

Ok try this one!

For copy and paste:

SET SOUND=C:\DRIVERS\CREATIVE\AWEUTIL SET CTCM=C:\DRIVERS\CREATIVE\CTCMBBS C:\DRIVERS\CREATIVE\CTCMBBS\CTCM.EXE C:\DRIVERS\CREAT […]

SET SOUND=C:\DRIVERS\CREATIVE\AWEUTIL
SET CTCM=C:\DRIVERS\CREATIVE\CTCMBBS
C:\DRIVERS\CREATIVE\CTCMBBS\CTCM.EXE
C:\DRIVERS\CREATIVE\AWEUTIL\AWEUTIL /S
C:\DRIVERS\CREATIVE\AWEUTIL\MIXERSET /P /Q
C:\SOFTMPU\SOFTMPU.EXE /SB:220 /IRQ:7 /MPU:330

File is attached as well. Had to zip it because .BAT files aren't allowed to attach.

Run it and see if it works. If it does add the following to the first line:

@ECHO OFF

How to edit it in DOS? Type EDIT then File > Open and load the file.
