Hello
I recently bought a notebook Compaq Armada M300, and installed Windows98se, directX 8.1b and the latest driver from the Compaq website.
It has one of these sound chip : ES1978, ES1920, ES1921, or ES978 AudioDrive (driver call it generally ESS M2E) --> i'll look this evening which one it is exactly
The problem is: i cannot setup the card for digital sounds. The only thing I have is the MIDI music.
I tried with Settlers 2 Gold, Daggerfall, King's Quest 1 & 2 (with KQ sound works with the PC speaker but... well don't know why but i don't like it 😅 )
but the sound does play in the dxdiag tests
Is this problem known ? Did i miss something (maybe in these forums ?)
Regards
-edit-
Should I try VDMSound for Win9x ? My laptop is a Celeron 300 with 128MB SDRAM, is it enough for emulating a sound card ?
