A few days ago I got this card: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons … I601_Mozart.jpg
Then went looking for drivers (for DOS and Win3x) and found these: http://ftp.nchu.edu.tw/Hardware/multimedia/OAK/Mozart/
Then, having to choose between the first two files, I needed to find out what kind of OTI601 chip I have (B, E or F) - it seems to be F, according to this: http://www.plasma-online.de/index.html?conten … re/oak_oti.html
Then installed the drivers in the second file (it says "for OTI-601/E" at boot time though) and tested three games: Doom Shareware, Wolfenstein 3D and BOOM (with one of the WAD files on the Freedoom project site): http://www.teamtnt.com/boompubl/boom2.htm
The problem is that I cannot get the sound effects in BOOM to work (music is fine), no matter what sound driver I choose. Moreover, if I run BOOM first and then DOOM, I don't have sound effects in DOOM either. Wolf3D works just fine and it also "restores" sound effects in DOOM. I can also "restore" sound effects in DOOM if I run its setup first and change something minor (like the number of sounds/voices to be mixed simultaneously).
IIRC I found a comment somewhere here on vogons saying that the Mozart has serious compatibility issues and is to be avoided - is this my case too, or is there another, better, driver out there for me?
