Re: STB Sound Rage 32 - Gravis Ultrasound PnP clone?

I am almost certain that adding a SOJ40 dram chip on the empty space at U8 will add some ram to the card if you find a 512kb x16 chip then you will get 1mb of ram and it will be enough for DOS gus classic stuff but I do not have such a card so there is always the chance it won't work - maybe someone …

images I found the web show that there is no ram installed on this, just the 1mb rom bank this card was probably made for windows environment - you would have a 1mb wavatable midi device, pcm playback/record and joystick interface ram is needed to upload better banks (under windows) or gus classic …

weird , CMI8330 was used in value-oriented mobos up to pentium3 era must be a chipset/bios combo incompatibility for some reason or the CMI drivers crapping out? is the card listed on boot? what does unisound say?

you should really don't pay any real attention to the resources BIOSes allocate - they are most of the times the "wrong" ones and once drivers get loaded the desired good values are used BIOS just tries to enable all detected devices and allocate some combo of resources by reading the device tables …

[...] Btw I found a way to permanently unmute the Crystal line-in in Windows DOS-Boxes (in order to get the GUS PnP working in my case). You can put the CWDMIX.EXE into the Windows AUTOEXEC.bat with a couple paramenters. Then it's active for all DOS windows that get started. Tried that with Impulse …

ah OK - then it is some BIOS/PnP naming strangeness... as long as it works who cares what the names are :) CS-MPU does not really use any IRQ - under DOS just disable with orpheus.ini and under windows just disable the device - IRQ11 will be free anyways ESFM is getting installed with the Crystal …

yeah this is certainly not correct these are the LT PnP devices that the system should detect : https://i.imgur.com/QkLh3uH.jpg what happens is that the extra interwave-based card has it's SB emulation devices enabled and these conflict with the ones on the LT board you do not need the SB/WSS/MPU …

no it's not an initialization driver issue - it's a game driver issue take for example Dynablaster - try it with a YMF card: it will produce noise and parasites but it's ok with CS buggy game drivers

Thanks for confirming, so at least I know it's not just me. I don't suppose there is any chance for a workaround or updated driver or something? the only driver update the game has is the one that supposedly has better SB16 support and adds GUS and Soundscape support too bad they did not add a WSS …

I am getting the same issue - resources or install size make no difference after applying updates for 1 time the game ran in Soundscape more (WSS from what I can tell) with better quality and no movie stutters but after this one time it never ran again like that... looks like the sound driver does …

is the dip switch on the X16GS at position 0001 ? also the jack is not amped - it's just line out so ear buds might not work depending on what they are
