Re: Orpheus II soundcard thread

you don't need the SET BLASTER variable for orpheus, when you call ORPHEUS.BAT it will create the variable according to the settings specified in orpheus.ini Is that safe to do though? I recall Hocus Pocus disliking certain values being present in the variable. Edit: Testing on your suggestions …

does a game like jazz jackrabbit work for you? I just finished setting up the card in my machine but Jazz refuses to start when I configure the game for GUS. It asks me to run sound setup: no_start_gus.png orphinit.png ultrasnd.png I used the preinstalled ULTRASND directory from the website.

This may sound like a silly question, but can the Adlib chip be turned off? I actually prefer to use a separate ISA card for Adlib exclusively, and then redirect it into my primary card via line-in. This way I have more precise control over the volume. FM synthesis volume always seems to be tied to …

You should be aware, however, that currently-shipping Orpheus cards all use coaxial digital outputs, so unless your converter has both (doesn't look like it does), it won't be a plug-and-play solution. Aha! Well then, sticking to the analog 3.5mm jacks it is! The audio coming through the capture …

That is quite interesting because I recently received my VGA2HDMIPRO (StarTech.com/ConvergeAV) which has an optical input for audio. Should be able to grab even clearer audio …

I'm still in regardless, just curious why this and other isa cards get poopooed for basic XP gaming, if it doesnt work or is just "not the best" Might have something to do with XP era games using more sound channels than these older cards can support, causing dropouts/missed sfx etc. I've run into …

only some early PnP systems do not like CS4237 for some reason, some DELL Optiplex 5xxx/6xxx ones, a Casio 486 and IIRC the 486SP3 motherboard are not compatible because they cannot detect the CS4237 this is a CS4237 and BIOS issue so nothing to be done in these cases - more info on this is on the …

Another option, although it's probably not a simple change would be to use a laptop SODIMM in place of the 72-pin memory. In this case though I imagine the power/compatibility complexity would require enough new chips on the board that it would be the same size anyways. 🤣

Hmmm, something just came to mind @keropi. For my main DOS rig I'm using a fairly new SilverStone case. It has USB 3 and HD Audio connectors. I've already located a USB3 to USB2 adapter, but what I haven't found is a HD Audio to AC'97 adapter. Could such an adapter be optionally bundled with the …

You can ssh into your qnap, edit the smb conf file and enable ntlmv1 and lanman if you don't want to bother with setting up Windows 95 for NTLMV2 or according to my notes from when I last did this and checking against https://blog.udance.com.au/2017/07/10/stronger-authentication-for-windows-95 : 1. …
