when i had everything working under windows 3.1 i had pnp os in the bios set to yes, and then configured the card using CTCU and tested via Diagnose.exe and everything was perfect..
how do i do those same hardware settings with windows 95?
should i be turning off PNP OS in bios? please help this is so frustrating

How to install ISA Plug and Play Sound Blaster in Windows 9x MS-DOS Mode

Personally I would use Windows 98 SE over 95, even on slower Machines. I got it on a Pentium 100 at the moment.

I haven't used Windows 95 but you should also be able to set resources in device manager. Then restart PC. Go into DOS mode. Run CTCM. Then run diagnose.

ive tried this and everytime i boot it says blaster environment set to irq10.. (which conflicts)
it should be set to 5

OK I've watched your video! thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hope this works.. rebooting fingers crossed;)

IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!

That's just a variable. What is the card actually configured at in device manager? You can manually set resources there.

what confused me is that it shows "Sb 32 pnp" in the "unknown devices" in deveice manager and then below that it says that drivers were not loaded or not neccessary..
but maybe htat is to do with the ide controller on the card and not the wave device..

after i found the other settings by seeing on your video it was very straightforward. thanks

That's awesome 😀 Enjoy your SB 32!

Unless this related to a specific game, hardware and driver issues should be in Marvin. This is the Windows games forum.
