I'm going to preface this by saying that I'm using latest FreeDOS on a Dell Optiplex GX110, and I know PCI card audio in DOS is a pain but if you know that this will work better on MS DOS or DR DOS let me know.
I'm trying to get a CMI8738 card working. I have the DOS drivers for it, which all install fine but leave me with a PCI Audio Undetected error.
I turned off the serial/printer ports since I weren't using them and to reduce the number of IRQs left. I made sure everything was on different IRQs and I'm pretty positive it wasn't an IRQ conflict issue.
How much of a pain is it to get working? I'm fairly new to DOS (grew up on an apple ][), trying to use it with Scream Tracker for a project I was hired for.
I also have an ALS4000 and Ensoniq AudioPCI, but I won't get them for another day or two. It is my understanding though that the CMI8738 and ALS4000 have decent hardware FM simulation and I know the AudioPCI is total ass for FM simulation but that's for a different/unrleated MIDI project.
