Alrighty, hopefully I can find some sort of driver to test my setup as that sounds like it would be the easiest way about going about it.
With regards to the IRQ, DMA etc, to be honest this is where I have to admit I just don't really know what I'm doing. I remember using DOS games in Windows when I was younger but I think it was only Command and Conquer and I have no idea how I set it up, so my knowledge about that kind of thing is very weak. How do I figure out which I'm even suppose to use?
I'm using an card with a Yamaha chip, and with DOOM I just left the sound settings on the default which was Soundblaster, Port 240, IRQ 7, and I can't honestly remember what the DMA was, but it was default.
I will go into the bios though, I distinctly remember seeing Serial ports and more in there so that should be no issue to disable.
