Hi all, I'm toying with a Compaq Armada 1750 which has an ESS1869 chipset built-in. I'm using the 95 VxD drivers found in the Vogons driver collection. I can tell that Windows has the card in PnP mode set with SB address at 220h, OPL at 388h and MPU at 330h.
Playing Duke Nukem 3D under 98SE I can make the setup play FM music and SFX in Sound Blaster mode without issues under those addresses. It also plays music through the ESS wavetable if I try General Midi. However, I can't get Adlib Tracker II to output any sound under 98SE. It correctly recognizes the card automatically at 388h and I also tried setting that address manually in the INI file. I've checked that in Windows volume mixer both synthesizer and auxB are enabled and at high volume. If I reboot into DOS mode, Adlib Tracker II plays without issues (other than the textmode being glitchy with the Radeon card the laptop has).
Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks!
