So a bit of an odd issue. I installed Descent 2 CD for windows on a P2 Win98 retro PC I recently built, and had both digital audio and
midi sound working using an AWE64. A few hours later I load back into the game, and get only digital audio, with midi music only in the menus.
I exit out and open the descent.cfg file and see there are no settings input at all for the sound card; the IRQ / DMA etc are all set to 0. I change the settings to
use an external midi device and after restarting the game I again have midi music, this time through my Roland SC-55, but now get no digital audio
at all. Now awesome as that music may be I'd love to have the sound effects back.
So long story short, what I'm missing is the DIGIDEVICEID8 and DIGIDEVICEID16 for my AWE64. I have manually set the IRQ etc, but
don't know what the correct numbers are for DIGIDEVICEID8 or 16. They start with 0x followed by a short string of digits and letters.
Looking in the descent.cfg for Descent 1 I see a DIGIDEVICEID number, however there is only one given (it ends with ID, not ID8 or ID16).
Does anyone know what the correct DIGIDEVICEID numbers are for an AWE64, or how I can locate it myself?
Sorry for the rambling post, and thanks in advance for any advice.
