First of all my goal is to have an all-in-one 90's era machine that I can just keep in tact without swapping cards for certain games to run. In theory my solution was to have a SB Live for the Windows 98 games. Then I have installed an ESS1868 PNP ISA card for MPU-401 support in DOS. Before installing the ESS card the SB16 Emulation from the SB Live was working fine when running DOS games from within Windows and in Real-Dos mode (Blood, GTA, Doom, etc.) I was hoping to go into real DOS-Mode to run games that would require a MPU-401 interface using the ESS card alone but still using the SB Live SB16 DOS drivers for all other sound.
The first issue I came across. Once the ESS was installed it made all the in-windows DOS games unable to see the previously working SB16 emulation.
Second issue. In real-DOS mode I can not figure out how to get any sound working period.
Not sure how to disable all aspects of the ESS while enabling only the MPU-401 interface and then keeping all other aspects of the SB Live's SB16 emulation as my primary sound choice otherwise? Also I still cannot figure out how to make my DOS games running within windows as well to see the SB16 emulation?
