It is a bit complicated and between two topic. I've made some major discovory about the Compaq Ultra Sound 32 pro. First of all. I've made a preconfigured package of drivers that i'm ajusting and i'm near of distribut it here. But i've come face to some issue.
I will start with the discovery. Lot of people saying that this card is noisy and dont work well and is picky with the ram. FALSE. I've experienced the issue, distorted sound and very noisy in some game. The fact is we have to disable the 512k of onboard memory. The jumper is near the 512k itself. I've played doom with it, hocus pocus and lot of other game. Ultramid and ultrinit work as well. The prepgame didnd work but everything else in the ''gus pnp'' directory work. I've tryed flashing the card with the eeprom of the GUS pnp to resolve this issue ... 🤣 i've sucessully patched Jazz Jackrabbit this way(with the prepgame), but alas, still not working. This card when flashed with the gus pnp rom output no sound. So i've rolled back to the last compaq rom. This card is really clear and sound really nice ... but i cant get Jazz Jackrabbit to work. The setup detect the card right away but when i start the game ... ''please run setup to configure your sound card''. I've tryed the Interwave Patch with no sucess (refuse to patch the game)
I'm at almost nothing of making this card usable for everyone who has it ... but i need help at this point. Someon have an idea?
