Configure the mixer under DOS?

How would I do this?

I'd start with the documentation, see if it mentions a mixer application for DOS. Personally I don't use the mixer of sound cards, but an external one. Made a cable that goes from the back of the optical drive into my mixer 😀

Couldn't find a mixer for it in DOS. Am I SOL?

The mixer is called "Vortmix". But I read that it only works whit 2 speakers not 4.

Got a link

The files should get installed when you install the driver. Do a file search on your machine, could be there all along.

Couldnt find anything by the name of Vortmix on my machine.

Found Vortmix here: Re: How do I use an external wavetable within dos applications/games?
Fixed it.

For some reason, even after putting it in the autoexec after the dos com file this still happens.

you did take heed of the following from the readme ?

If you place commands in your AUTOEXEC.BAT, make sure they are AFTER the line which loads the VORTEX DOS Audio Driver.

This program is designed to run in REAL MODE DOS only! Do not run this
program in a Windows95 DOS box.

And you did add the following lines to your autoexec.bat ?

vortmix master 32
vortmix cd 32

Yes, I put it after the dos driver and added "C:\DOS\Vortmix.exe cd 32"

does vortmix.exe reside in c:\dos it seems an unusual location for an install program to place files

vortmix is a standalone executable, it doesn't install anything in there. And I just made C:\DOS for my DOS programs, as it didn't exist in the first place on Windows 98.

I was referring to setup.exe or install exe that would install the soundcard drivers and set them up (eg add lines to the autoexec.bat and copy the files to the hdd) from the driver floppy/cd
just like creative labs cards the sb16 copies its files to c:\sb16 i believe and adds lines like C:\SB16\DIAGNOSE /S

Vortmix is a third party executable.

There's no mention in this thread of it being third party
it could easily be the official vortex mixer program
why are you not using the official install floppy/cd for your soundcard that way you would just type setup or install and everything would be set up for you

I'm pretty sure Vortmix is third party in itself, anyways I don't have a CD.
