Hi - just a quick note to say that I've been trying to run VDMSound98 on my Sony VAIO PCG-F250....
It uses a neomagic 256av soundcard, and as there's no DOS support for this (unless anyone else knows better) I thought that VDMSound would be the way to go!
It doesn't really work *well* - there's a constant very short (1/4 sec) white noise, which repeats every 1/2 sec. Underneath that noise you can hear the actual sound (using KGen98 Genesis Emulator) running along fine. Even using DOS's EDIT command I get that sound. When at a normal DOS prompt, no sound, no problem 😀
Tried dropping the sound rate down to 22050 in vdms.ini, to no avail - the same white noise, just at double the pitch - the underlying correct music was also at double pitch/speed too.
No big deal, but I thought you might like to know that it don't work too well with this soundcard. Windows/Directsound are all fine though.
All running the default options, from a fresh install, no errors. Hope that helps you in your development.

I might add that even with this rather slow celly 366, the speed was excellent, no slowdown.
