Hi!
I have a strange problem. I don't know if it's a Windows problem or a hardware failure. It affects two similar KT133 boards. Windows is the same. Only the AC97 onboard sound works properly. For maximum DOS compatibility I had two sound cards installed. On the old board an ESS Solo, the current board even has an ISA slot so I was able to get my old CT4180 to work, partially. But the same problem occurred both times. The MIDI sound is missing. DirectX does not recognize the sound card or the drivers for it. Wave works, but MIDI (220) doesn't. There are no resource conflicts, and it's not the drivers' fault either. DirectX was installed again. Is there anything else I could test without reinstalling Windows? I would appreciate any help and please ask if you need further details. Thanks!
Edit: The onboard sound was completely deactivated and the drivers uninstalled.
Edit2: I`ll add some pics later.
