I suppose I'll start up a thread about this. This is also something I've searched for.. for quite a long time and not had much success finding one and getting it to work.
I would like to find some sort of PCI sound card for real mode MS-DOS, -NOT- windows 95 or 98, DOS, that is SB16 compatible with most games and sounds roughly as good as (or better) than the AWE32/64 cards.
Preferably without loading too many extra drivers/TSR's to make it work too.
I've found the ms-dos audigy software layer for audigy cards in dos, and that would probably be ideal but I've bought about 4 different versions of PCI Audigy card and none of them worked with the software I found, so I pretty much gave up on that and I'm looking for some sort of alternative.
If someone could just help me come up with a make and model # that would work well, I can try and find one somewhere on my own.
The only one I've found that works well in dos is a Creative EsoniQ ES1371 / AKA Audio-PCI 5000. I have one and I can get it to work and do sound in dos, but the sound... makes all games sound like they're being played inside a bean can and it sounds horrible.
So any suggestions would be nice.
