Have you tried these? https://archive.org/details/soundcarddriversMediaSound

Worth a shot! Will post a status update once I get through this - looks like there's some additional steps to it than what I'm used to messing with

Update:

While I could get the system to accept the audio drivers without any problems for both DOS and Win3.x, the big issue was that I couldn't get my Mitsumi-Quad CD-ROM working with it (I have to go through the soundcard since the mainboard doesn't have an IDE slot for it) -- Even when using the generic IDE connection slot on the card.

I could make guesses as to why it wasn't working, but even when I merged the CD-ROM drivers from VOGONs driver wiki (Which includes the OAKCDROM.SYS file and setup) with the linked drivers for card off Internet Archives, it still seemed to not work too well.

I've switched back to my Sound Blaster 16 which decided to stop having the I/O conflict it was having earlier after an OS re-install. Still have to run the Diagnose program to get it to initialize the SB16's CD-ROM recognition, but only once during any given session, and then it's happy to accept CD drive.

I'm kind of sad about this because it seems like a neat card, and since it's not one of those later Sound Blasters with the DSP problems which suffer from Hanging Note Syndrome, it seemed like a good alternative, despite being something of an unbranded piece of hardware. Still, if anyone comes up with a solution for this particular card using a mix of drivers that plays nice with CD drives that -MUST- go through the card, I'm happy to hear about it!

Cheers!

I looked at this one already, and it didn't look like it had the Win3.x drivers, just the Win95 ones (unless those work with Win3.x, then I suppose that's just me wrongly assuming that the drivers wouldn't be compatible). Feel free to point out where I missed them, though!

UPDATE -- It's been a little bit of time since I posted, so I figured I'd add to this thread:

I could not get it to work. It's fine though; since my SB16 decided to finally start -working- again, and I've kept with that instead. I've kept to the Sound Blaster, and put the other card away into storage for now, until I feel like trying it out again.

Another Update:

Finally got my Pentium MMX 200 system in, and along with a Voodoo3, I slotted in this card, and after several DAYS of trying to get the card working, I came across a website that has the 4.00.23 drivers for the OPTi 82C924 PnP that work on both Win95 as well as 98. The DOS drivers work alright, though I'm having to work in Windows Media Sound mode currently, as SB Pro mode seems "iffy" when messing with it.

Honestly though, having a decent ISA sound card in there is pretty nice! If only I had better speakers for the system, 🤣
