I'm aware that this is an old post. I wasn't feeling as well as I would've liked to have felt in January of this year. The truth is that I don't have space for a Pentium MMX 233 PC as well as my Super Socket 7 PC. I tried using my Nvidia TNT2 PCI card to see if the problem with the persistent …

Thanks so much for your response. I don't know how to quote excerpts on these forums, I'll firstly say that I've been tired lately due to a personal circumstance, so I meant "However, when using UNISOUND instead of SASETUP and thus, NOT installing the Yamaha drivers in Windows, I heard one beep from …

I had enabled all of the tests in MemTest86+ and it had run at least one run without error. Nonetheless, this issue had persisted setting all of the timings to 3T. I tried just removing the Audigy card. The issue had persisted. So I then reinserted the Audigy card and I tried the tests that I was …

Hello! I made a post on here earlier this year about an issue that I had, but I was in a very stressed state then. I've since rebuilt the PC that I had then and I'm facing the same issue that I had. It's a Super Socket 7 build and I'll provide the specs later in this post. With my Yamaha Audician 32 …

Hello! I hope this is the right subforum for this. In my Super Socket 7 PC, I have a Yamaha Audician 32 Plus and a Serdaco DreamBlaster X2GS. I tried playing Descent and when the digital sound card (my Yamaha Audician 32 Plus) was used, the motherboard speaker outputted a persistent beep. Since …

Thank you again. I was actually selecting Sound Blaster 16/AWE32 for my digital sound card in TIE Fighter and Descent. Setting it Sound Blaster Pro made sound work in both games!

I would recommend using the GUS gameport for joystick input and disable the one from the Yamaha sound card, it is speed compensated and can be adjusted with the ULTRAJOY program. That program can be added to AUTOEXEC.BAT, avoiding having to type it each time when starting the computer. You can …

To everyone who helped me in this thread, thank you again. The Gravis Ultrasound Classic works! Jazz Jackrabbit was not a good game to test because it requires two free IRQs. I don't have that. I was able to get the GUS Classic working with Superfrog. I'm faced with all kinds of limitations on the …

I don't like using insecure protocols but ASUS's stupid Samba functionality on their routers requires SMB1 to be enabled.

Thank you very much for the information. I'll keep trying. I assume that if I want to "comment out" an IRQ or DMA in my autoexec.bat, then I put an "x" in its place. On a previous Windows install when I had tried using the Windows 95 GUS installer, the installer had put all x characters in the base …

Thank you. I disabled SYMBIOS SCSI BIOS and ECP DMA Select in the BIOS hoping that they'd help me out here. I've now just set USB IRQ to NA.

I got my GUS classic to run on Win95 but not on Win98, but I guess you will use your other sound cards on non-DOS operating systems. That's correct. I tried getting the GUS Classic to run in on Windows 98. It was an ordeal. I had to enable USB in the BIOS to install the driver because my keyboard …

I didn't have the manual when I had my previous GUS Classic. Nonetheless, when I skimmed that part of the manual after initially swapping out the RAM chips, I had assumed that "the notches" had been referring to the contacts on the RAM chips. Also, because I have the WSS/16-bit recording …

@tiido and @davidrg Thank you so much! I would've never figured this out by myself. It makes sense that they were installed backwards, but I didn't know to look for the notches. I accidentally broke a leg off of the original RAM chips and I placed in both of my spare NEC RAM chips. I now see a …

The DRAM chips should barely be warm. Since they are hot it is quite likely they are inserted backwards and that can lead to dead GF1 chip. Show a photo of the card please. Wow! Thank you! I had initially removed the RAM chips that it came with to place in my spare NEC chips. When that wasn't …
