Hello again.
Lately a Soyo SY-6VCA arrived to me. Nice performing board (Apollo 133A) by the way, despite having a couple of bulging caps.
Paired with a PIII 600EB, PC133 256MB CL2 and a ATI Rage 128 Pro, everything works very snappy under W98SE, period correct games too.
My troubles began when I tried to make games in DOS to have sound...
I followed the guide by Phil´s Computer Lab to use Audigy2 drivers with Live! cards: https://youtu.be/2x6T_OWT0WU
Under Windows, sound is excellent, with both CT 4670 and CT 4830 Live! cards. Those would even play several DOS Mode games without trouble.
But some of them, like my all time favourite, Dune 2 and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis won´t run under Windows.
Those would require going pure DOS and some memory management. Therefore I went this other route (also by Phil): https://youtu.be/f52bZzWs-u4
The guide about using Audigy drivers with Live! cards, won´t show you how to install/configure the cards under DOS. So I decided to try the method described in this other tutorial, (Phil again) https://youtu.be/z-HiLp5p820 (from minute 11:41 and on), which basically is copying a folder ("Livedos") to C: and executing "Liveinit". That worked for me in the past with other (440bx based) motherboard and a SB0100 Live! with its 1st party drivers.
No luck with the CT 4670 and CT 4830, no sound. Liveinit command executes and the cards supposedely initialize, but games won´t run.
Any suggestions on which way to go (especially DOS noob oriented ones) would be higly appreciated! thanks in advance!
