What about the soundcard? I've heard the onboard CS4280 has a decent OPL3 compatable synth.
I've went with W98SE on this board and this does not sound anything. Not in dos games ofc. It does on win, but not enough for us. Maybe i'm doing something wrong?

If you're using WDM drivers (usually marked as Win98/ME drivers, try to use VXD ones usually marked as Win95 or Win95/98 drivers

Where to get them? i've not found any.

Installed some from archive but no one works. Only worked under windows the file I will attach but it's useless when i open some dos thing.

Eh? 😮

The attached file is the driver for a VGA Matrox g200/g400 file, not really the best one to make a sound card working 😁

Just use the PID and VID values and search with duckduck, but if the sound card is integrated the maker of your MB is the first place to take in account. Then there is vogons drivers, then there are zillions sites dedicated to drivers.

I've been trying with SBEMU. After spending some time configuring, it prompts me
No supported soundcard found!
Maybe I need drivers for the CS4280 under dos¿

Okay I installed this and seemed to work better. Volume was much louder and now MIDI outputs by the synthesizer instead of wave control. Now games sound under win98, but only wave effects, nor synth (music) so I have jumps and so but NO music.
I had 2 installs, one with only files (attached) and other with this and some more files and a program installer. I installed "manually" by the device manager, nor by the installer.

The supossedly "DOS" folder inside this is in fact a OS/2 driver, so It don't features DOS drivers or i've unknown the way to install it. I really don't know how to install this card under dos. Need a clear explanation of it.

Installed then CrystalWave Synthetisher that comes in the w98 installer I attached. Supposed it could be some kind of midi-translator to it's own way to make the job. It did nothing-

Then I went to the folder you sent me, ran the installer and got BSOD on each startup. Now im reinstalling W98 from zero.

Every restart is tedious even more in this board with no memory skipping. I'm spending all weekends on this, and reached a new dimension of headache-.

I attach also a game i'm using to test.
