Hi to all!
I'm got a Soundblaster 16 in my old 486 machine and added a EWS64xl to the setup.
First I tried it under DOS, which didn't work, because (I think) of the setting.
After checking under win95 that the card wasn't broken(everything worked with soundblaster 16, EWS64XL and all possible Midi configurations)
I tried it again under dos, using the original ewsinit.exe a p4b soundfont, the fmon software and setting everything to the same jumpers as in win95 using the ews64cfg tool. I had to use the mixer.ini from vogons, because with my ews64sw.ini I didn't get any sound.
Result:
- Stereo Sound under DOS with the SB16(just connecting to the SB16 via Speaker or Line in)
- Stereo Sound under DOS with the EWS64XL using SB Pro Setting(switched Audio)
- Mono Sound:
- Using the SB16 Settings connecting to the EWS64XL Line in (Just left channel)
- Using the EWS64XL Midi Port 2(MPU-401) (sound, but very quiet on right channel)
- No Sound:
- Using the EWS64XL Midi Port 1
I have a db50xg connected to the EWS64XL so, if I'm not wrong this is working but the Soundfont is not. Didn't test to which port the DB is connected, so it could be the other way around.
Other Problems:
- cannot setup the sb16 correctly, because some software of the EWS64xl resets the autoexec.bat to the ews64xl BLASTER Settings every time. So the sb16 Diagnose didn't recognize the SB16.
I tried to use the crystal mixer software c32mix, but it doesn't look like it makes a difference. Will just be recognized, if the BLASTER Variable is setup correctly.
Does someone has an idea to this problem? Or could explain to me the possible syncIn, OutputOut values in the mixer.ttm? I think it is possible that the problem lies there, but I'm not sure.
Would be great if someone could help.
