OK I recently got a Panasonic KXL-D721. its a combo SCSI and sound card on a PCMCIA card. it also came with the matching external scsi-based CD Drive. the CD drive works great but in DOS games(tried duke3d,doom,ROTT,Shadow Warrior,descent) I can get music fine but not sound the drives that came with it say they are for Windows 3.1/dos or Windows 95. I have tried all 3 with the same issue either in MS-dos 6.22(the win3.1 setup installs dos drivers and win3.1 drivers) or under Windows 95's ms-dos command prompt
the sound chip reports as a ESS Audiodrive 1688 (no DMA) and I'm starting to wonder if that is my issue. I cant tell the soundsetup my sound cards DMA because,apparently it does not have one. I have tried some windows version ports of said games (example doom95) and while I get sound and music under a pure windows95 app the laptop I'm using...its slow and/or unplayable
Laptop is a:
Toshiba T1960CT
486dx2@50mhz
20MB RAM
4GB HD with a overlay
WD 1MB Video card
I have even tried a driver from the PCMCIA sound card post at this website that has a matching sound chip. tried to install those drivers but the utility fails to find the card. is this a win-onyl sound card? does anybody else have ideas to try?
