Hi JazeFox, just upping your topic because your tool is great.
That was so convenient!
Just tried and runned your binary and the sound card was initialized nicely.
Changed my retro pc life : just added it in autoexec.bat and that's all.
Tested with Vibra16C and CMI8330.
Thanksssss

I had troube using a non-pnp awe32 with a etherlink III pnp. The Tool always initialized the etherlink as unknown card type, until I discovered the /NOPNP option. I use this Tool on every dos install and Boot disk it is so awesome.

Hi @JazeFox, thanks for your tool who is great.

I've reported a issue with the Yamaha YMF719E-S in August about the DMA of the WSS part of the card who is not changeable using Unisound (only works with Yamaha og initializer).
The DMA is forced to 3 (whatever setting i put in SET BLASTER) and all games need DMA 1, only a very few accept to change to DMA 3.
For reference i've used this config : SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4 H1 P330 W530 Q5 K1

Can you check on the issue when you have time ?
Thanks =).

Thank you and the other users for your words 😀

About Yamaha YMF71x, no issue there. DMA sharing between WSS and SB is a problem with Yamaha cards. Unisound prevents that.
To solve your issue, change the SB DMA to something different than 1 and then set H to 1, example:
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D3 T4 H1 P330 W530

Before posting, please, read the FAQ in the first post and TXT! IT's important if you want a good support. Thanks!
Respect, and be happy! 😀

Hi JazeFox, thanks for your reply.

Indeed now games who request DMA 1 works !

Fun fact, games configured for DMA 3 still works too, i prob they auto fallback to DMA 1 if not found as it's the standard DMA for WSS.

Best Regards.
