What are the disadvantages of using a PnP ISA card such as the AWE64 Gold as your only Win98SE sound card? I use this card when I boot to DOS.
I could not get two different SB Live! cards to work with Win98SE even after using the install CDs from Vogonsdrivers for my model numbers. I read about the other problems people have had with the Live! drivers. I'm done with Live! on this Win98SE build.
I'll eventually seek out a Vortex 2 (have one in another build), but I might just use the AWE64 for games like Quake 2, Jedi Knight, and Unreal. I know that I won't get positional audio like EAX, but that's okay. Will it drop framerates? What else do I lose? Thanks for your advice.
