I recently built myself a new Win98 system and was intending to also use it for a few DOS games, like Duke Nukem 3D. Here are the system specs:
Gigabyte 7VRX (rev. 2.0) (Socket A - VIA KT333/8233A chipset)
Athlon Thunderbird 1400
512MB DDR
ASUS GeForce2 Ti
SB Audigy Gold
Windows 98 SE
I am able to get sound working under Windows. However when I install the DOS Drivers, I get an error reported on boot up:
Error: Config file is incomplete.
SBPort
Creative SB16 Emulation Driver NOT Loading.
I understand that some chipsets simply do not support audio emulation for DOS, is this the case with my motherboard? Or is there some workaround? I do not see anything in the BIOS to reserve an IRQ, only to set the priority. My Audigy is in Slot 5, so I set "Slot 1/5 IRQ Priority" to 5 in the BIOS. Didn't help!
And if there is no possible way to make this happen, is there a PCI sound card out there I can find that will work with my setup under both Windows and DOS?
