I managed to get the Aureal Vortex 2 and the Audigy working together without any issues so far. Things I had to do to make it work:

  • Changed the Aureal Vortex 2 PCI slot until I got a free IRQ (IRQ 7, in my case)
  • Installed AU8830 9x 4.06.2015 driver since I'm using DirectX 8.1
  • Disabled Aureal Voretx 2 Sound Blaster Pro 2 Emulation
  • Disabled Audigy Gameport

I also installed the Turtle Beach Montego II Applications CD, but it's not required.

I think I'm finally done with this build. I have a Tualatin 1.4 GHz CPU, 512MB CL2 RAM, Voodoo 3 3000 PCI, GF4 Ti4200 AGP, Audigy and Aureal Vortex 2. I think I have all the bases covered for Win98 gaming. Going to play some games and stop tinkering for a while 😀

#2 Pentium III-S Tualatin 1.40GHz / QDI A10T / Voodoo3 3000+GF4 Ti4200 / Audigy+AU8830+SC-50

Honestly I think you have all the bases covered and them some!
Strong D3D support, check
Glide, Check
Eax, Check
A3d, Check

Only thing I can think of is MIDI, Still common in the 9x era, but you could cover this with the Audigy and soundfonts

What? No! How dare you? Are you implying that most of us are not playing games?
Well, I've got some news for you, buddy! I, for one, actually do play games! I last played... uhm... two.. months, no... years... ago. HA! Joke's on you! 🤣
