Okay so I ran aweutil /s and it did not give me any errors, but it did give me a little status bar that had "reverb" and "chorus" in front of it

Success!

Every game should work now!

So what was the issue? Dos 6 instead of windows?

I think the issue is with Windows. Is there a way I can configure this card to run in Windows too?

Sorry I only know about DOS...

Thanks for the help! I will probably end up setting up a partition just for dos or use another HD entirely so that I can use this card

Thanks again!

For Windows, try doing the "force hardware resources change", for the AWE64, inside the Device Manager area. Pick the resources that work for DOS. Eg 220/5/1/5.

run the hardware assistant yet?

I can verify that the AWE64 ISA bus card will work properly under Win 98-SE, ME and Win 2k.

I have a dual-boot box with both Windows 98-SE on a drive and Win 2K on the second drive.

This is running fine on a Soyo Socket 478 board with ISA bus slots.

One thing I always do is to disable the onboard LPT and COM ports to free up some allocated resources.

I don't recall having to force the settings under Windows, however, I can state I've used this function before and it has worked in the past on other hardware platforms.

What OS are you trying to install the ISA card in?

I am doing a fresh install of Win98SE hoping that that will clear things up. May I ask what driver you used and what lines did you add in your config and autoexec?
My lpt and com, onboard audio have all been disabled to free up some resources and I think I'll just force the AWE64 to use IRQ5 in the bios.

I ended up trying this earlier to no avail! 🙁

Thanks all for the help!

Okay so I think I'm making some progress.
Here's what I got so far
No PNP OS in BIOS
IRQ5 reserved for awe64g
Fresh Win98SE install
PCI512, video card, and AWE64gold installed in system with drivers

I booted into Window's DOS mode (not a cmd prompt) and ran ctcm and it spat out the normal looking settings

However, I still can not seem to get the sound effects working in DOS, nor Windows for Doom2. I can only get the MIDI music playing for some reason.

fm shouldn't work without aweutil, should it?

I forgot to mention that I ran aweutil after running ctcm and it had the reverb bar

@gwb, what mobo are you using?

I knew it! Honestly, I was going to say "are you using one of those industrial mobos?!". The problem may be because it doesn't support NMI, which means Non Maskable Interupt. SB16 digital effects won't work, if the mobo doesn't support NMI.

Oh but I though it worked with DOS 6? Or was this just a premature assumption on my part?

PS: Now we have a guinea pig who can test things for us on a industrial board 🤣

First question: Does your BIOS allow changing the FSB (over and down clocking) and can you change the CPU multiplier?

I did get the card to work with ctcm and aweutil /s and it did output the correct parameters but I still never got the sound effects to work in games

PS: Now we have a guinea pig who can test things for us on a industrial board Laughing Out Loud

I don't mind at all 😀 This was honestly an experiment for me as well so I'll be happy to answer any questions

Unfortunately it does not. It may be able to with a BIOS update, but I have not looked in to that yet

I was hoping you wouldn't say that 🤣. I agree with your logic and I will have to dig out a P3 board somewhere and see if that works. I did happen to see a member on here (looking for post) who had an industrial mobo and had a myriad of sound cards in the system? 😕

Do you happen to have a non PnP ISA card you could test?

If it really is your industrial board that would be a shame. I always assumed that these ISA slots would be just fine...

I have a CT2940 (SB16 PNP value) and an ess audiodrive es1898f in front of me. I'll have to dig out some of my other stuff tomorrow
