HI people! I have had some issues with my Pentium 166. THe most aggravating issue at the moment in the sound. I had the system running well previously but stuff happened and I had to redo everything. The main issue now is the sound .
I put in a Sound Blaster Live 5.1 This wasnt originally in the system, but when I first put it in, windows (oh yeah im running windows 98 SE) detected the card as a SB live 5.1 no problem. Now it detects it as a sound blaster live series.
In games like Doom 2, the music will work but the sound FX will mess up. Making a loud reverb sound. I did manage to get the sound working better when I installed a different driver, which showed the card as a soundblaster live series (WMD) Then I had the music play using Roland, and selected soundblaster for FX. that worked. but another game which used to work perfectly now freezes when I set it to sound blaster. (prince of Persia 2. )
It will work if I turn the sound to roland midi and pc speaker fx.
It has been driving me mad. I cant fix this issue.
Any ideas?
the system has 64 megs or ram, and a 2 gig HDD.
