Hi, I have this odd issue with some games that use CD music that do not seem to work in Windows 98.
Obviously I plugged in the audio cable that goes from the CD drive to the audio card (as always, the Sound Blaster PCI128 CT4750), I can get CD music to work just fine under XP, but in Windows 98 it doesn't work at all.
When I launch Cold Shadow, I can hear all the sound effects minus the music due to this issue.
The thing that I do not understand is: same drivers, why does it work under XP and not under Windows 98 ? (Thus the audio cable is connected correctly)
I should've opened this thread in Marvin, perhaps, but since it's just Cold Shadow, among my games, that uses CD music, I decided to aim it to that game directly.
(I cannot play the game under XP due to the "missing kernel32.dll" error, even though I copied it from 98, now I can't boot into XP because it's missing hal.dll 🤣 but the CD music works fine and I tested it with some audio CDs)

A "modded" Olivetti M4 434 S (currently broken).
An Epson El Plus 386DX running MS-DOS 6.22 (currently broken).
