Re: So I bought a CPU for my 98 machine without realizing that my mobo only supports up to 1.3ghz

That is because the nForce chipsets have 0 compatibility for DOS sound as far as I am aware. Has anybody gotten DOS sound working on a nForce board? I'm not sure if they can. The issue is they are missing backwards compatibility that allows mapping of the IO ports (ie 220, 338, etc) to the PCI …

Sorry about my lack of information. This is an already built Windows 98SE machine (plus unofficial SP) with a 1.3ghz Athlon, 768mb ram, a Geforce 4 440 MX 64mb AGP card. I wanted to upgrade the processor to the new one but my board doesn't support it. Don't need ISA, have a Sound Blaster Live! …

I'm not very knowledgeable on sound cards so please excuse me for asking again: I always thought Aureal Vortex 1+2 drivers only supported EAX 1.0 in software and EAX 3/4/5 was only ever supported by Creative cards with no wrappers/emulation avaliable. I'm really not trying to be a dick here if …

Good thing you got it working and thanks for sharing your solution!👍 Btw you mention you're getting A3D 2.0 + EAX 4.0; does the Live! support EAX 4.0 after all? Doh, thanks for the catch. I've been looking at 98 cards too much and the 4.0 on an Audigy 2 was stuck in my head along with the A3D …

Reviewing the linked page about the MX25, at the very bottom is a comment about the MX300 and that the reference 2048 drivers randomly for some hardware won't output SPDIF for all audio. The DVD Player will output over SPDIF, but other audio will not. I looked through a bunch of other Aureal driver …

I think you might want to try setting one or both of these registry keys to 1 and rebooting . ; Turn on/off the Digital Out support HKLM,"Software\Aureal\Vortex\AU8830\Customization","SupportDigitalOut",0x00010001,1,0,0,0 ; DWORD Value: 1 - on, 0 - off ; Set default state of Digital Out HKLM," …

Try another set I was using the 2048 reference, but I just tried 2041 reference and the Diamond Monster Sound II 1.02beta drivers. Neither the 2041 nor 1,02beta reference digital out in their control apps. And I'm not getting …

Has anyone successfully gotten SPDIF Out from the MX-300? The linked site above says pin 18 is SDIF out with pin 17 being a ground pin. I tried connecting these to the aux connectors of a SB Live Drive as well as the Digital CD SPDIF connector on the SB Live and I'm not getting data on either. In …

Re: Diamond MX-300 MX-Link/MX-25 Pin-out

Posted on 2020-10-17, 18:38

Look in this thread https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=77095 . There is a link there that you will probably need to run through a translator, unless you happen to know the language, that shows which pins carry S/PDIF . Thanks, I must have been searching for just mx-300 which didn't match …

Diamond MX-300 MX-Link/MX-25 Pin-out

Posted on 2020-10-17, 17:22

Does anyone have the pin-out for the MX-Link connector on a Diamond Monster Sound MX-300? There was an add-on board called the MX-25 that provided SPDIF and some other connectors on it. I've tried searching but so far haven't been able to turn up anything. My hair-brained scheme is trying to connect …
