I've just put together an old IBM Thinkpad 600X (P3-450, 1024x768, 4MB AGP2x NeoMagic) - I've maxed out the RAM (576MB), fitted a big drive (320GB) and gotten all of the drivers sourced. It works really nicely, and a fair bit speedier for later games than my earlier Thinkpad 385ED.
I've got sound working using the Cirrus CS4624 driver, in pure dos, and it works reasonably well as a Soundblaster Pro compatible.... however, the FM volume is very, very low. In something like the Duke3D setup it has to be maxed out all of the way, and is still then only really quiet; the laptop doesnt have a volume wheel and it's the same both on the internal speakers and headphones - digital effects are as loud as you could want them though.
I'm not going to be using FM most of the time (since I have an SCP-55 for GM audio), but it's nice to have it as a fallback option; but at this volume, it's not really workable.
Has anyone ever found a mixer utility for Dos for this audio driver?
