Alright thanks folks. Looks like I'll be getting a new sound card.

Haha I'm having no part in a tech nerd rendition of a cock size contest. My specs have little to do with my problem and I'm sincerely asking for help from those who wish to give it. Now: does anyone know of a sound card emulator I could run with Win98SE? If not, maybe I'm out of luck.

I've tried selecting Sound Blaster and various others. The sound card isn't supported. If I'm not mistaken, VDMSound can't be run on Win98SE. I don't want to use D1X rebirth either, unless I can disable all the high-res "improvements" and features. Anyone know of a standalone sound card emulator …

Windows 98 SE, MSI 6337 motherboard, SIIG SoundWave 5.1, Dosbox 0.72 ...if for some reason that information should be needed.

Hey. I'm trying to run Descent. I have a PIII 1.0GHz, 384mb ram, nVidia GeForce2 MX 32mb. That should be more than sufficient for running Descent on Dosbox, I would think.
