Thanks to help from folks on vintage-computer, I'm successfully using a SoundBlaster CT1730 in an IBM PS/2 Model 25, which has 8-bit XT slots. Everything is working, including digital sound, but I'm seeing some visual corruption in mixerset.exe. Screen looks like this:
Theories as to why this is happening might include:
- Creative never tested SB16-compatible versions of mixerset.exe on 8086 machines? (Diagnose.exe fails as expected but the card is configured via jumpers.)
- Creative never tested their text-mode UI on MCGA?
The disks I used for the install were the standard SB16 from vogonsdrivers. As you can see this is version 2.15. I could upgrade to a later mixerset that might fix this bug, or perhaps downgrade to an earlier mixerset from the SB1.x era? This would probably fail to engage the SB16's specific hardware, however. It's important to note everything works just fine, including adjusting the output gain (set to 4x as you can see). OS is DOS 4.01.
