No, DDMA is the best cable less method for ISA DMA on PCI sound cards for MS-DOS compatibility. PC/PCI (SBLINK) might be better in some cases but requires a PC/PCI connectors on both motherboard and sound card.

I guess I will continue looking around for something to build this machine off of. Or I do have an old Aureal Vortex 2 sound card... but it is PCI, and from what I have heard it is difficult to get a PCI card to work properly in DOS games. It's not difficult to get a PCI sound card to work under …

Played around with the modified SETUPDS.EXE from http://vsynchmame.mameworld.info/ and got my YMF744 working in DDMA mode on my SiS 645DX/962UA based motherboard (GigaByte GA-8SIMLNF REV 2.0). With the Pentium 4 3.06 GHz installed it's the fastest setup I've run without the DSDMA TSR.

I think most cheap sticks will work fine, but I only got the Terratec Aureon Dual USB myself and it uses the standard "USB Audio Device" driver supplied by Windows 98SE.

Maybe it boils down to the audio codec in use, your board got the ADI AD1888 while mine got a Realtek one. Perhaps an USB sound stick are an option if you're using the PCI slot for a Voodoo card.

Among Intel ones, it would be interesting to try ALS4000 with 845 chipset. What sound card model are you using and which DOS drivers? I'm using this "driver" (not a driver itself, just initializes the card and leaves no TSR). I think the card is a Labway one, it got an Xwave 4000 sticker on the …

Have a look at page 45 of the manual, are your front panel audio header configured correctly? BTW, I used the "SiS7012 Audio Driver" montioned on the front page.

Have you tried both WDM and VxD drivers? Got sound working myself on a socket 754 board with the 964L southbridge. The VxD driver is in the win95_98 folder. How much RAM do you got in the system?

I don't think the DX can load .SF2 sound banks while the NX can (with newer driver versions).

You can see if CHKCPU detects your non turbo speed.

I tried the Solo-1 with a couple of SiS chipsets for Pentium 4 and Athlon (64), not much success with that combo. A combo that worked great ont the other han were the SiS 645DX/962UA (Pentium 4 chipset) running with an ALS4000 soundcard, but the SiS 755FX/964L (Athlon 64) failed with the same card. …

DOS isn't something you should really be doing beyond Slot 1, and MAYBE Socket A. At the time the Pentium 4 came out, DOS was dead and over with. PCI sound cards (and even integrated ones) were the popular ones, and everybody had Windows. I disagree. Two good reasons why it can be a good idea: 1) …

Of course not. Intel was the leading microchip company since way back when. They started with the 4004, the first successful mass-produced microprocessor. Which then evolved into the 4040, 8080, 8085 and eventually the 8086, which was the first CPU of what we now know as the x86 family. IBM decided …
