According to the datasheet of the YMF744B you can enable and disable Sound Blaster and FM separately with the SBEN and FMEN PCI registers. You also have the GPEN and MEN registers for enabeling/disabeling the game port and MPU-401 interface.

Don't get your hopes up. The Rockwell Riptide are rare and you trying to get it running on an OS most people here doesn't use.

The MIDI adapter I got is probably just too cheap. I opened it up and it's sending two wires directly to each MIDI port, and nothing else. So I'll get something better to replace it. There you have the problem. You need a circuit that provides enough and correct current to drive the optocoupler in …

Based on the symptom that SBEMU can work with HDAplay without any modification, I think MPXPlay may miss some compatibility setup steps for some chipsets. Just checked the MPXPlay's source code, the link stream register is written by MPXPlay already, but involves parsing HDA DAC nodes, not just a …

Hi Kamerat, Very cool, i hadn't thought to try HDAplay. I used the -i switch, which reported the help info. I used the -i switch with 44100s.wav, and it reports the EMB physical and HDA base address, states codec 0 lineout pin widget is 11, but then reports no audio output converter is connected to …

There was problem on MPXPlay and I did some fix, tested working by folk here, when MPXPlay doesn't work but SBEMU does. There might be more problems that are not fixed. It uses IRQ7, so you need to use IRQ5 for SBEMU, I saw you've already done that. So what's the BLASTER env after running SBEMU? As …

Emmm, yet another PCs that reported not working. Can you try /VOL9 on the AMD RS880M to make sure it is not a volume problem? Still no sound with /VOL9. I also get no sound with MPXPLAY even that it detects IHD. Maybe the driver from MPXPLAY is the problem? This is the device: Bus 0 (PCI Express), …

Working on Intel X58/ICH10R (Asus SABERTOOTH X58 with a Realtek ALC892 codec). For some reason the system is dog slow in DOS, but that's even before SBEMU is loaded.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but this could be used on Win9x? I'm sure you are not the only one wondering this. My system doesn't work with SBEMU, yet. So, I am no authority on it. Windows says it cannot run, because a protected-mode software is running. That would be Jemmex. But you can load …

Have you checked out SBEMU? You can use it for Sound Blaster and OPL2/3 emulation under DOS and use AC97 or HDA for sound output. Not sure if VDMSound fo Win9x have working OPL emulation.

Windows only emulates a Sound Blaster Pro and a MPU-401 interface but no OPL2/OPL3 based synth when using WDM drivers. What kind of system are you using?
