Does the AWE32 have the CT1747 chip, CQM, or YM-262M? If CT1747, level 2 bug, which is an extremely rare occurrence and if CQM and/or YM-262M, bugs all the way.
Thanks for replying and the info! I'll have to check on that next time I open up my PC.
It turns out it's an AWE32 Value (PNP), so I was using the wrong driver haha.

Anyway, everything is now working 100%, including my Flightstick Pro!
I'm very happy with this system! Enabling/disabling the CPU and external caches allows me to slow it down to 486 and 386 speed, so Wing Commander runs perfectly fine with both caches disabled. Thanks to PhilsComputerLab for that hint!!
Two minor gripes:
- I'm honestly not 100% happy with the FM synth quality of the AWE32... it's not bad, just different from what I remember. On the other hand, the Ultima V unofficial music patch supports AWE wavetable synth, and it sounds pretty good indeed. Having said that, once I get my Roland synths up and running I won't be too concerned about either haha.
- Not happy with the speaker placement, I'd really like to get these up to ear level; however, I simply don't have the room for it. Otherwise, the speakers sound just fine.
