Hi guys,
I'm having issues with my recently purchased SB PRO 2 2600.
Jumper settings are as follows:
Address: 220
Low DMA: 1
High DMA: 1
IRQ: 5
CD DMA: 7
CD IRQ: 10
Some more info about the system:
Pentium 200 MMX, 32 MB RAM, s3 VIRGE 2MB PCI card, Diamond Voodoo1 PCI, USB PCI card (with 2 ports).
IRQ5 and DMA1 are reserved for ISA/Legacy in Bios and Device Manager shows that all resources are assigned correctly.
I've tried it in Windows 95 DOS mode (from Philscomputerlab - after adding the string SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4 to Autoexec.bat and Dosstart.bat) and it works fine.
Also, OPL3 works fine when I run RADplayer from Windows.
The problem:
I had a SB16 Vibra working just fine before. To avoid as many conflicts as possible, I decided to do a fresh install of Windows 95.
Setup froze at 24% when detecting ISA devices. After rebooting, I chose the "recovery" option that Setup offered and this time it skipped that section and continued successfully.
Now, I can't get Media Player to play back MIDI files. There's just very silent/garbled sounds. WAVE playback works fine, though.
In Windows Volume Control, Synthesizer controls (volume and balance) are grey/locked.
Any suggestions about what to try out?
I'd rather not install Windows 98, because Windows 95 is so much more responsive on this system.
