Re: Sound Blaster CT1600 speed sensitive?
Posted on 2018-11-14, 15:20
The general consensus from what I have seen for sound cards with speed sensitivity is that it starts happening around 133Mhz.

Sooooo.... I am not getting anywhere with this SOYO board. It looks like either the Via MVP3 (586A/B) southbridge doesn't support D-DMA, the BIOS is bugged or the ETEQ copy of the VIA chipset isn't a 1:1 copy. So I guess DSDMA is probably the only way to get the Yamaha YMF 7xx cards working in DOS …

Considering how expensive K6-III CPUs are I really hope you don’t OC it. I really dont understand the hype around it. It is slow (compared to the same age), and chipsets are buggy. I don't understand why people think the K6-III+ CPUs are expensive. Pretty sure I got my last one for less than $20 …

Well, I happen to have a couple different MVP3 based boards here. One is a Soyo SY-5EHM with the ETEQ chipset. Pretty sure it is just the AT counterpart to the board the OP has. Hoping it works. Just about to fire it up now. We shall see how it goes.

What revision is your CT1600? If I remember correctly, there was some discussion a while ago about how maybe the earlier revisions had speed issues while the later ones did not.

It allows me to change settings in setupds now, but dma is unfortunately still not working. I tried all possible dma settings there was in setupds. Ok, awesome. We are getting there. I'll try to do some testing tonight to figure out exactly what settings should work. Pretty sure I have an MVP3 …

Ok, go ahead and try the one I have attached here. I just modified the one that was already modified for the 686A/B southbridge since the hex addresses were already known. Let me know if this changes anything. Filename SETUPDS-VIA-586Aand586B.zip File size 84.06 KiB Downloads 76 downloads

Ok.. bleh. So Wind9x doesn't show the hardware ID like XP and higher does. But your motherboard uses the 586B southbridge so the ID is going to be different then the 686A/B southbridge I am pretty sure. In that case, use System Information Viewer: http://rh-software.com/

So D-DMA is not actually working there as everything is grayed out. OR rather.. it may be that you aren't running SETUPDS /S first. SETUPDS /S should be run before just going into SETUPDS. Go ahead and run SETUPDS /S first and then go into SETUPDS and post a screenshot of that. If we can't get it …

Motherboard is SY-5EMA+ I have not found a single motherboard yet that had dos sound effects without running dsdma.exe. Even old 486 motherboard with pci and isa slots that I tried couple weeks ago only had sound effects after running dsdma.exe I am guessing that there is something else going on. …

I don't think DOS games can access PCI cards. You'd need some sort of driver TSR utlity that tries to fake an ISA port to games and then redirects it to PCI, but those tools usually are very hit and miss and often just don't work. And I don't even know if the YMF744 actuall offers such drivers or …

In phil's videos those yamaha cards work in dos but don't play sound effects without dsdma.exe tsr and since awe64 doesn't play music without aweutil /s, so idea was if those could be combined using irq 5 for the yamaha card and irq 7 for the awe64 or if there would still be some kind of conflict …
