I have never configured it under Win95 DOS, not DOS Mode in Windows' window. I'm using Phil's reboot to MSDOS because I like it.

The thing is sound works under Win95's DOS but not right away and only in diagnose app. When I'm checking diagnose I have correct 220 next 300 (because collides with MPU-401 in Windows) and IRQ5 impossible to obtain. Next I'm turning app CTCU and after it aweutil which enables TSR and after that I can set values as 220, 300 (or 330, it works here now) 5 1 and 5, I take update settings and after reboot the same however without reboot I managed Rayman installer to scream perfect with settings: SBPro, 5 and 5, I know corect settings are anything Sound Blaster, 5 and 1.

How to finish configuring this particular PC? I just managed with forum help to set up Win95 with USB support now DOS.

I need to mention under DOS6.22 everything was fine but this PC is 233MMX, S3 Trio64V+ 4MB and Voodoo 1 4MB so I couldn't run some games that need Windows 9x. 😁

EDIT: I know how to configure all of this under DOS6.22 because no app says it's incompatible with Windows 3.11 and Win95's DOS mode.

CTCM should be used for initialization, not CTCU (that utility isn't intended for Windows 9x, but there is a patched version on the following thread: Patched CTCM/CTCU to remove Windows detection). The sound card resources can be configured in Windows Device Manager, by doing this it will make the necessary changes to CTPNP.CFG. I also highly recommend starting AWEUTIL with the /S command line switch, which only initializes the EMU8K without loading it as a TSR.

BTW, the AWE64 Gold is only compatible with the original Sound Blaster and SB16. That card will output mono if the SBPro option is selected.

The thing is settings from Windows environment do not apply for DOS session for some reason.

Thanks @Gmlb256, I'll try this tomorrow for me and yes, not ctcu only ctcm. 😁

EDIT: I have now sound and music in games but for some reason CTCM initializes sound environment as SET BLASTER=A220 I10 D3 H5 P300 E620 T6

This is my CTPNP.CFG:

[AWE]
CardId=CTL009E
Serial=060D4616
Csn=1
LogDev=2
Port0=620
Port1=A20
Port2=E20

[PNP]
ReadPort=277

[SB16]
Csn=1
LogDev=0
CardId=CTL009E
Serial=060D4616
Port0=220
Port1=330
Port2=388
Irq0=5
Dma0=1
Dma1=5

And this is my autoexec for DOS session which 'automatically' forces different values unless I manually change them via CTCU.

EDIT2: I fixed it by changing IRQ 10 and DMA5 to be used by ISA devices. Now all works. 😁
