Re: Generic Aureal Vortex 2 - Worth It?

"Day of Tentacle / Indiana Jones Fate of Atlantis -> Garbage random noises, sometimes crash." Try the throttle tool to slow down the computer. Or disable cpu cache on bios. Some games wont work properly with sound when pc is too fast. Yeah, that was the issue. I have created a new topic about it …

You probably have a clock chip with integrated battery , usually rectangular, black and with Dallas or Odin brand name . These need to be replaced or modded with an external battery to fix the board . You're right sir, once again. https://imgur.com/j0ipY6S https://imgur.com/jb7N4k9 Can I just …

Glad it worked . As for SETMUL, That's why I said to run it on the P3 . Disabling L1 cache on that 750Mhz CPU should be enough to bring it to 386 levels . Oh yeah, sorry I misread that. I didn't bother trying that it in the System 1 yet, as the System 2 was ON when I created the thread ;) Anyway, I …

System 1 - guessing your CT1600 is probably one of the earlier revisions without the clock crystal that the later revisions have. Probably has to do with the system being too fast for the card. System 2- Could be the same problem with speed but not as bad. Guessing you are running it at 66x2.5 …

CT1600 (Sound Blaster Pro 2.0) - Issues

Posted on 2020-06-04, 20:11

I have both of these cards since they were new: https://i.imgur.com/3RX2i6E.jpg Now, I'm trying to bring then back to use after being stored. The SB16 works perfectly so far, but the Sound Blaster Pro 2.0 (CT1600) doesn't! I have tried different irq/address/dma setting trough the jumpers, and also …

I just looked at the picture, that indeed doesn't look like a real Creative SB0570, what a curiousity, where did you get that? ^^ compare that to a real one, you can also see that the fonts and logos are off... who would go through the effort cloning faking an already budget card x3 Welcome to the …

I do not believe the Audigy SE even has Windows 9x drivers . It is based on a completely different chip than otheri Audigy cardss and is an Audigy in name only . As for the SB Pro , I would test it without the SB16 in the system first . I woulso disable the lpt port in BIOS and assign IRQ7 to …

Audigy SE has no DOS support . Does it at least have SB emulation in Win98 command prompt? --- Anyways, started to test SB16 + SB Pro 2.0 in the P3 system. I´ve set the SB Pro 2.0 jumpers to IRQ 7, DMA 1, ADD 220h. After this, the SB16 PNP configured itself with: IRQ 10, DMA 3, ADD 240h, H5, P300. …

Slightly nicer - people hate on Creative CQM, like your CT2950 has, but compared to that SB128 it's almost the same as real OPL3. Best thing is that you don't have to choose and can have both. Bigger reason (but still quite small) to use both cards: SB16 isn't totally SBPro2 compatible - the stereo …

Looks like somebody has quite a creative homebrew sound card industry going there... you can't get much more minimalist than that. If shipping wasn't so horrendous I'd order one just out of curiosity. Certainly looks like the holes & traces are there, so you could take a gamble. Then again, if you …

I think using digital audio without a cable requires WDM drivers under Win98, and those are sometimes flaky in terms of game compatibility. As for DOS, I don't think you'll get any CD audio without the cable. However, if your CD drive has a headphone jack, you might be able to connect that to the …

If you have two systems, you will make your life much easier to split OSs. System1 is a great late Win98 system (and pretty acceptable early XP too), system 2 is a bit over-specced for DOS, but it can do it better than sytem 1. You can underclock the CPU to 66MHz FSB (500MHz). Try DOS on system 2, …
