Yeah, I got FM. The chip is CMI8738/PCI-6ch-LX.

For me it doesn't work at all. I have a cmi8738/pci-sx rev 037d, the pci base port is c000. My mainboard is a i810 based soyo. I've tried without initializing the card with the dos driver, using setaudio first it doesn't work either. On windows there's a OPL3/OPL2 synthetizer in dxdiag but i get no …

holy mother of sweet god...

Interestingly, CMI8738 is a PCI bus based chip with "SBPro" compatibility. I suppose the 2nd square chip sitting right next to 8738 handles PCIE <-> PCI conversion. CMI provides Win XP, 2000, & 7 drivers, but I'm not 100% sure the card works on Windows. Indeed, this card is pretty basic - it's only …

Such devices are shown in Windows 7 Device Manager as "Unsupported Standard Game Port". Yes, but, as I recently found out, you can still use it …
Re: Just a question for the hardware specialists. PCI Adlib compatible is possible but PCIe Adlib.

I find that the best result that's guaranteed to work in pure DOS on any modern machine is to use a PCIe CMI8738-based soundcard with RemapCMI. No digital sound, it's Adlib only.

I tried using ADLiPT TSR on my Windows 98 machine in DOS box, but it tells me that a wrong version of EMM386 is installed. But the version that comes with Windows 98 is 4.95, well above the required 4.46. What am I doing wrong?

Its 99% chance that you know it but to be sure.. compatibility mode.. for make DMA working to get more than 2 MB/s you have to go into device manager select disk device and check DMA checkbox and reboot. Yeah, this was one of the first things I tried, but, interestingly, there was no DMA checkbox. …

Well, did you / can you try some YMF724/744 or Vortex 1 PCI card? There is a chance that SFX may work. I have CMI8738 too and didn't have much success in my P67 board but YMF/Vortex works well (SFX too) for me. I tried out a Vortex 1 card a few months ago, and, unfortunately, no luck - the DOS …

Which MB you have exactly? Gigabyte Z370 HD3P. Its PCI slot is bridged via ITE8892 chip. There's also another thing about it - when I was building my multiboot rig, I was experimenting with all kinds of different cards. And, originally, I wanted to use a PCI video card - the video card that I use …

Are you talking about DOS games run under Win98 DOS window or true DOS mode? Adlib and MIDI would work - it's only I/O acces, no IRQ/DMA involved. But SFX doesn't work I expect... I'm talking about true DOS mode. And it's not just games - I was able to run LLSID and listen to some .sid tunes, …
