I'm currently playing around with my AWE64 Gold (CT4390) on a DOS 6.22 + Win3.11 system. On a whim, I chose "Custom Install" from the driver CD and, among other things, it offered to install CTSB16.SYS and CTMMSYS.SYS. This made me curious, so I looked up these drivers in the manual and here's what it said:
wrote:CTSB16.SYS and CTMMSYS.SYS are low-level device drivers that provide wave playback and recording for DOS applications. These applications include third-party DOS applications developed with Creative Labs’ Sound Blaster Developer Kit. The applications work with the drivers (such as CTWDSK.DRV, CTWMEM.DRV, CTVDSK.DRV, and CT-VOICE.DRV) that require the low-level drivers. The drivers are found in the DRV subdirectory of your audio software directory.
From this, I gather that these drivers might be used by certain DOS sound recording apps. But is there a chance that some game needs them as well? I doubt it, since they seem to be an optional component, but I was curious if anyone else had any experience with this.
