If I find time I can test another rig of mine with that EVGA 450 BR PSU (20A @3.3V/5V, 120W combined). That would be: - ASUS TUSL2-C board - PIII-S 1.4GHz - 512MB SDRAM - SSD (via IDE->SATA adapter) - DVD-ROM drive - Voodoo5 5500 (uses approx. 30W power via molex connector) - Audigy 2 ZS sound card …

Hi all, I am having some issues with in game audio playing properly while mounting BIN/CUE images in Daemon Tools v 3.47 Searching through the forum there appear to be several threads on the subject, but there doesn't seem to be a generally agreed upon fix for the issue. I am trying to run Quake II …

Just install DirectX 8.1 and all your Daemon Tools virtual CD Audio gremlins will go away!! DirectX 6/6.1 might also work according to another member here (I haven't tried it yet). DirectX7 WILL NOT under any circumstance give you In-Game Audio with Daemon Tools, in "Carmageddon 2" & "Disney's …

As a conclusion to this thread... In the end I settled (at least for the moment) for an "Audigy2 Value" (SB0240). (L.E.: I upgraded to the ZS (SB0350), and it also works identical) I installed it loosely following this guide: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=71449 (also didn't upgrade DirectX, …

Sorry about these problems The Vortex 2 being a PCI card it uses tricks to pretend to be an ISA soundcard in DOS. AFAIK the Vortex 2 and YMF-724 based cards are the most useful PCI cards for DOS.

AU30DOS.com reads settings from %winbootdir%\AU30DOS.INI When resources overlap with the initialized CMI8330, that is often trouble. CMI8330 takes a lot of resources because it is an ISA SB16 and a WSS card in a single chip. Actually, when you have a CMI8330 available for pure DOS, there is little …
