What about the soundcard? I've heard the onboard CS4280 has a decent OPL3 compatable synth.
I've went with W98SE on this board and this does not sound anything. Not in dos games ofc. It does on win, but not enough for us. Maybe i'm doing something wrong?

If you're using WDM drivers (usually marked as Win98/ME drivers, try to use VXD ones usually marked as Win95 or Win95/98 drivers

Where to get them? i've not found any.
Installed some from archive but no one works. Only worked under windows the file I will attach but it's useless when i open some dos thing.

Eh? 😮
The attached file is the driver for a VGA Matrox g200/g400 file, not really the best one to make a sound card working 😁

Just use the PID and VID values and search with duckduck, but if the sound card is integrated the maker of your MB is the first place to take in account. Then there is vogons drivers, then there are zillions sites dedicated to drivers.
DOS, W3.1 up to WXP drivers: https://www.mediafire.com/download/k7ph17oous … 80%26CS46XX.rar
I've been trying with SBEMU. After spending some time configuring, it prompts me
No supported soundcard found!
Maybe I need drivers for the CS4280 under dos¿

That happens when I do not have any order here, just chaos files...... Deamn.

Okay I installed this and seemed to work better. Volume was much louder and now MIDI outputs by the synthesizer instead of wave control. Now games sound under win98, but only wave effects, nor synth (music) so I have jumps and so but NO music.
I had 2 installs, one with only files (attached) and other with this and some more files and a program installer. I installed "manually" by the device manager, nor by the installer.
The supossedly "DOS" folder inside this is in fact a OS/2 driver, so It don't features DOS drivers or i've unknown the way to install it. I really don't know how to install this card under dos. Need a clear explanation of it.
Installed then CrystalWave Synthetisher that comes in the w98 installer I attached. Supposed it could be some kind of midi-translator to it's own way to make the job. It did nothing-
Then I went to the folder you sent me, ran the installer and got BSOD on each startup. Now im reinstalling W98 from zero.
Every restart is tedious even more in this board with no memory skipping. I'm spending all weekends on this, and reached a new dimension of headache-.
I attach also a game i'm using to test.
When reinstalled, all is clean again. I've installed the first thing the CS4280 driver from mediafire folder, but in restart it keeps me asking for the driver. I put the route and it accepts it. Then installs a wdm and some things more you see.
Finally it's an unknown thing idk what's is, as w98 don't have device ID indicator.... Don't see so much trouble with any soundcard related, isn't?
(Of course, the wave effects sounds but the music don't, again)
Have you disabled everything onboard, what you do not need (LPT, COM etc.) for more resources availaible?
You have nothing to lose, try this one https://www.mediafire.com/file/c8b655itgaf0yt … /9248U.zip/file

This bios is strange, so... simple...
In PCI device config you have 4 ports, each one only allows you to set Option ROM Scan: Enabled/Disable
Enable Master: Disable/enable.
It dont let you touch any of the internal PCIs.
In the ISA resource exclusion, yo can set from IRQ3 to 11: Avaible, Reserved.
C800 to DFFF: avaible/Reserved. All set to available.
The BIOS is a lot restringed by HP
I've found a driver that works in games with music.

Sadly it does not perform any good.
It runs only under Windows 98.
Lots of channels are lacking. Sound is lamentable empty.
Some games even don't considerate it as a soundcard and sounds by pc speaker.
Ah, yes - these business machines are a nightmare when it comes to BIOS settings.
