I just bought a Gravis Ultrasound Pro PnP with the RAM upgraded to 2,5 megabytes in total. I plugged it into my computer and spent the weekend trying to configure it. After a lot of work, I finally managed to make my computer recognise it and have it provide sound for some of my games. However, a lot of games just won't work when I have choosen "Ultrasound" for sound in the options menu. What could be the problem?!
Games that work are the following:
Doom
Heretic
Raptor
Duke Nukem 3d
Warlords 2 Deluxe
Escape from Delirium
Games that don't work:
All Epic games with Ultrasound support; Epic Pinball, Jazz the Jackrabbit, Hocus Pocus, One Must Fall, etc... (The games can sometimes be played, but no sound effects and no music)
Simon the Sorcerer 2 (I load the Ultramid TSR and the Ultrasound can play the test samples in the options menu, but when I try to start the game it says "Failed to initialize music driver")
Discworld (Game crashes when music is supposed to start playing)
Fallout (Sound works, but is choppy)
Toshinden and Angel Devoid (In the setups of the games I can't choose Gravis Ultrasound for MIDI at any other port than 220, and I'm using port 240. Strangely enough I can choose port 240 for sound effects)
My system contains the following:
Gravis Ultrasound Pro PnP Rev. 1 with 2,5 megs of RAM
Soundblaster Pro 1 (OPL2)
Voyetra MIDI interface (100% MPU-401 compatible)
Voodoo 1
MS-DOS 6.22
Mouse connected to the COM1-port.
IBM PS/2 Keyboard
Pentium 75 processor
80 Megs of RAM (64 megs usable)
2 floppy drives, 1 CD-ROM, 2 hard drives
Here are my config files:
