This is my first post here. I hope I am in the correct area, as there are a lot of different rooms. Nice to meet you all!!!
here is a paste from the neo-geo forums where I started a topic regarding making a windows 98SE/Dos gaming rig. Everytime I searched online for info I was directed here. I am at a pint now where I need some professional support as I am having sound issues. here is the topic...
no, i want to run stuff like Spear of Destine, Baldur's Gate, Diablo, and whatever DOS games I can get my hands on that are good. Thank you though!
***UPDATE #2***
Back from the PC shop today. He had a better PC after I looked through his stock. Ended up getting a Pentium 4 based PC (2.8ghz) running XP, all the hookups including keyboard and mouse, over a gig of ram (had to take some out) a 19 inch old skool CRT monitor, and he even threw in a AGP Nvidia GeForce2 32MB video card for free. $80.00 total. I got it home and installed windows 98 SE, and everything seems to be working fine except... There's always an except.
I can not get any sound out of this thing. It keeps saying on boot up that there is a PCI sound card but the PCI slots are empty so I have no idea what drivers I need.
I guess I should state the motherboard model
it's an ASUS AS#305374-001
or also goes by
HP Compaq SOCKET 478 D530 D330 MOTHERBOARD 323091-001 305374-001 for D530 TOWER

Upon loading Blood Omen I get no sound, or any sound in windows for that matter. I decided to download the Drivers here...

and that resolved nothing. It has windows 98 audio drivers. Not sure why the on board sound is not working. I would like to get it working at least until I can get another sound card. FYI the volume is turned up, on the TV, I tried head phones on both front and back jacks. One of the updates installed "SoundMax integrated audio" it has option for General Midi andXGLite, tried both no dice. Went to "sounds" under my computer and can't get any noise at all.
Does anyone have any recommendations? I have 3 extra PCI slots, but no AGP left.
