Back to rem c:\pastudio\mscdex.exe /d:mvcd001 /m:10 /v Gives me an error. Packed file is corrupt. OK. Back to basics. Backup your existing config.sys and autoexec.bat by renaming them: ren config.sys config.bak ren autoexec.bat autoexec.bak Now create a new config.sys file that just loads the …

Nothing. I get an error, when trying to load mscdex thing. (after I ran Install.exe in like, tenth time) Packed file is corrupt. https://i.imgur.com/Pq902Tp.jpg https://i.imgur.com/oYpm10L.jpg OK.

Oh, no, it definitely doesn't show anything like that. MVSOUND.sys is in CONFIG.sys, aight...but not loaded at the same time. Incorrect location, you say...what is the default location for MVSOUND.sys then, if not PAS directory? Just looked again at the first image you posted. Indeed, it say that …

While I'm at it, why would MVSOUND.sys not get loaded, with all the drivers and device.sys edits? I do not know. All I can think if that you might be loading it from an incorrect location? I have never tried FreeDOS so I'm not sure if that could be a conflict but I assume not. Is a specific error …

Can you explain the zeroes in CUSDIAG .. No I can not other than that the driver isn't able to allocated to resources asked for. Use different settings. ... our device strings are different? I'm not sure what that means. Yes, my drivers might be in a different path, which you obviously need to …

Yeah, same as always... What could I be doing wrong? You can actually see it in my first picture...SBC DMA, all that...zeroes. Try using different DMA and IRQ settings for your card. I had to fiddle with the settings before it worked. The FM/OPL music test in the CUSDIAG program plays rubbish, …

Is there a big difference between Pro Audio Spectrum 16 and Pro Audio Studio? I don't believe there is. The "Studio" moniker was just a marketing thing, they bundled some crappy software with the card and gave it a snazzy name (like Pro Audio). The Pro Audio Spectrum Studio IS a Pro Audio Spectrum …

Hmm conflicting replies. I did try removing the four cables first but they seem very hard attached again so was starting to doubt they even are meant to come loose.. OK. Then take out the entire on/off switch but check if it isn't "special" in any way. I.e. check if it doesn't have a tiny cap that …

The PAS16 is speed sensitive in my experience, and also needs a -5volt rail on your PSU. Do you have a slower machine to test it with to confirm that it works and have the right drivers? For the Studio version, and my Spectrum version for that matter, I've had the most success with these drivers: …

My big gripe is sellers using postage as a way of mark up their profit. E.g, on eBay there is a certain seller in Eastern Europe who charges ridiculous postage fees, and I mean ridiculous, think $100USD for posting a sound card kind of ridiculous.
