So I pieced together this win95 pc finally from random old pcs and boxes, was feeling pretty good until I got stuck on one final problem: Anytime I try to run wav files in games or media player it suddenly thinks I have no hardware installed. Midi sound works fine, just not wav.
Device manager recognizes my AWE64 gold card and says it is working properly. At first I thought maybe I installed drivers from the wrong disc, so I tracked them down on these forums and the driver image disc is the exact same as the one I have. I tried it anyway and it still does not work.
I updated windows media player to the newest version available for windows 95 again with no results. There is a copy of Realplayer on the AWE64 driver disc, when I try to install that it also gives an error message saying I must install hardware drivers before realplayer.
I am hoping it is something stupid. I was really young when these PCs came out and remember little to nothing about configuring hardware, and Ive been spoiled by plug and play and internet auto-update.
Anyone had this issue or ideas about whats going on? I got about 30 games here ready go to and PC parts spread all over my floor, any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
