So I found that I had this card (the chip is ES 1370)and so I hooked it up to try!
Pentium 1 MMX 200Mhz
128 MB ram
i430vx mobo
Matrox Millennium 2 (4mb inside ;P)
3Dfx Voodoo 1
Quantum 4 GB HDD
Teac 52x
Floppy
Some lan card and a 5.25 drive just for showing 😜
So I'm using Windows 98 SE and I used a Sound Blaster 64 installation disc to install the card.Installation went fine,sound plays perfect in Windows games with A3D!I also tried a few DOS games under windows and they worked fine but I wanted to play under DOS-mode.
So I press start and push the button.I wait for a little while and a little program pops up and it seems like it's trying to set the sound for DOS.
I get Port 6100 and IRQ 11.And then what?Nothing...The system seems to "hang"!
So I changed IRQ via BIOS and the same thing happens.So it's not an IRQ thing.I open autoexec.bat and check it out.First of all there is a typical
SET BLASTER =A220 I7 D1 T7
I think that's for emulation,correct me if I'm wrong.
Then I stop at something else
SET SOUNDSCAP(or something like that,it's the driver for the sound card I presume ) =C:\Windows
I check C:\Windows and I find a .ini file.
First of all there is a Port 6100 and IRQ 11 thing just like the one I saw.Then there are many options and I presume that one of them is the problem.If anyone has past experience with that I'd like to hear it.
I'll try to upload the file as soon as I find a way to transfer it!
