Yo soon-to-be-friends! As the subject states, I'm trying to install a CT4520 AWE64 Value ISA sound card into my Pentium 1 MMX machine (200MHz, 64MB RAM) and am running into a problem. I've never set up a "plug and play" sound card before in DOS, so I followed Phil's YouTube guide here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaf4lWI2TEk
Following his guide, I went to the Creative site, downloaded ctcmbbs.exe and sbbasic.exe, extracted them both, then ran through the installation, basically selecting defaults for everything. The one thing I noticed that seemed off was that the installation didn't install AWEUTIL nor did the BLASTER environment variable contain an Emu8000 port.
When I run CTCM, here's what it outputs:
wrote:Found Creative Plug and Play card: Creative SB16 PnP
Successfully configured 3 of 3 Creative Plug and Play devices.
BLASTER environment is set at: A240 I10 D3 H7 P300 T6
I've also tried installing from the AWE64 CD found on vogonsdrivers.com, but it leads to the same result. I even updated the firmware of the card as mentioned here, but the end result is the same.
At this point, I assume either 1) The sound card is faulty; or 2) The software is failing to detect that the card is AWE-compliant and more than just a Sound Blaster 16.
Here are the contents of AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS:
