The sound works great, but the music, for some reason, does not play.

I have a Soundblaster AWE64 GOLD with 20MB. The computer is a Pentium 2 333Mhz with 64MB of RAM. I have windows 98SE so I think I'm running DOS 6.22. I setup the FM and the sample to Sound Blaster in the D:\install.exe script. When I run the soundblaster utility diagnose, I can hear music and sound working fine. Here's my config.sys and autoexec.bat

CONFIG.SYS

1DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS
2rem DEVICE=EMM386.EXE RAM FRAME=E000 I=B000-B7FF D=48
3DEVICE=EMM386.EXE RAM D=48
4rem DEVICE=EMM386.EXE RAM
5DOS=HIGH,UMB
6DEVICE=C:\SB16\CTSB16.SYS /UNIT=0 /BLASTER=A:220 I:5 D:1 H:5
7DEVICE=C:\SB16\CTMMSYS.SYS
8DEVICEHIGH=C:\ATAPICD.SYS /D:MSCD000
9LASTDRIVE=Z

AUTOEXEC.BAT

1@ECHO OFF
2SET TMP=C:\
3SET TEMP=C:\
4SET PROMPT=$p$g
5SET winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS
6SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\SB16
7SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 E620 T6
8SET SOUND=C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\CTSND
9SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E MODE:0
10LOADHIGH SMARTDRV
11LOADHIGH CTCM
12LOADHIGH C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000
13rem LOADHIGH C:\UHCI.EXE
14LOADHIGH C:\MOUSE\MOUSE

You need to run AWEUTIL (should be in your sound directory) to initialise the FM synthesiser.

And Windows 98 uses DOS 7.1, not 6.22.
