After using the setcard.exe program found in the 2760r3cd.exe and setting the MPU port there to 300 everything works like it should, just make sure you have the EEPROM jumper closed as well 😀

I already tried setting the resources in the windows device manager and using Unisound. This did not work and unisound configures it at port 330 even if the blaster variable is set to P300. I was able to find out about the 2760r3cd.exe through some searching on my own as well, apparently this …

Hi I´m having a hard time changing the MPU port on a CT2760 AWE32 card from 330 to 300. There´s a jumper to change to change this setting but it´s not doing anything. I had this problem earlier with another card and managed to solve it by using the EEPROM jumper but it´s such a long time ago that I …

Good to know that someone else was able to get the combo working well. That is encouraging, thanks! Is your card a PAS16 or the original PAS? If it was a PAS16, do you remember if it had the Trantor SCSI interface? It´s a PAS16, pretty sure it has a SCSI interface but I´m not able to check that …

I have a 486 system with a PAS, Aztech sound blaster clone and a PCMIDI card. This setup has always worked great for me. I don´t have access to this system at the moment to check any specifics in the config or anything like that but at least this should work.

On the computer with V1.11 I overwrote it when I updated unfortunately. On the other computer there´s V1.33 which also does not work. Edit: I would guess the V1.11 AWEUTIL comes from this driver package: http://vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=26&menustate=0

I guess most likely you are forgetting to start the DOS32AWE at all and instead the games are using their default DOS4GW DOS extender... If you have problems with FANTA soundfont try first not to replace the default Creative soundfonts. You can switch between the three default sound fonts with the …

Likely a completely different issue. Which model of the AWE card are you using and how many amount of RAM it has installed? Does loading SoundFonts elsewhere (such as using SBK or SF2 on Windows 9x) works fine on that AWE card? I have two cards that I have tested in two different systems. SB32 PNP …

[Did you select "Sound Blaster AWE32" instead of "General Midi" on setup? If so change it because it won't use any SoundFonts on DOOM with the "Sound Blaster AWE32" option. Oh it was that easy huh *slaps forehead* After choosing General MIDI instead in Doom the music sounds different. However it …

I had a somewhat similar issue with a CT2760 AEW32 card where I was unable to change settings for the MPU-401, the jumpers for address and enable/disbale did nothing. The trick for that card was a jumper named EPROM. When I changed position for this jumper I was able to change the configuration. Do …
