OK thanks a lot. I've dug up 2 external synths to test - one GM, the other being an MT-32. But I've run in to a strange problem with this Epox mobo. If I boot in to DOS 6, I can't get SB Pro sound effects to work. Doom does not complain about any missing SB Pro card, but I just hear silence when I test the sound effects. I then ran Via's DOS SB Pro driver (called VIAUDIO.COM), but it didn't solve this problem - I still hear silence.
However, if I boot in to Windows 98, and then shut down the PC in to MS-DOS mode, I can get SB Pro sound effects to work. I then checked the PC's memory by running mem /c /p at the DOS prompt, and the VIAUDIO.COM driver was not present! I am really confused. Anyone know how this mobo handles its onboard SB Pro sound effects in DOS please? Thanks a lot!
