Originally posted by EEE That works both ways (although it does sound better in VDMSound Good. At least we know the problem is not at the OS level. So from this and the above, can I gather that the problem lay in ApplePC's requirement for IRQ 5,... No, I don't think so. I have XP and I can run …

Originally posted by WireKnight Next edit your config.ini and manually insert the information for a soundblaster 1.0 or pro (sadly only these two 8-bit cards will work). Thanks for the input, WireKnight. If/When I get a chance to try this out, I'll post my results.

Originally posted by EEE The compatibilty guide says it works easily for one user, and not for another (however his seems to indicate inherent XP support). That was me for both reports. The native emulation in XP didn't work at all. Using it with VDMSound worked fine. Mainly because it has all the …

Originally posted by jez Do we still need to put the line SET VDMSPATH=C:\VDMSOUND in autoexec.bat? Since there is no installation program as of yet, and since the author(s) have not stated otherwise, you probably still need to set the path manually. Is it advisable to put the SET BLASTER= line in …

Originally posted by Natreg What about some pcspeaker features? I wouldn't expect Vlad to implement speaker support in VDMSound as it's very different from emulating a soundcard. I have seen dosbox and they have something like that (I prefer vdmsound better) That because it's an actual PC emulator, …

Originally posted by gatticus Sounds difficult to add win9X after the fact. It is. If you're not comfortable with a certain amount of "tweaking", it's probably a better bet to "start over". I have presented this issue with ATI. It is not just a Age of Rifles problem. Considering their previous …
