Hi everybody !
I have recently rebuilded my 5x86 (it was in a big case but the PSU died so I took a smaller case that I had laying around and I've put my sound blaster 16 CT1740 and my gus max 2.1 in the same machine)
But I keep getting problems. The SB 16 seems rather fine when the GUS is in the computer, but it seems that the GUS hates the sound blaster.
Here are the adresses, IRQS and DMAs used for each card :
Sb 16 :
Address 220
Irq 7
DMA 1 and 5
GUS MAX :
Address : 240
IRQ 11x2
DMA 7x2
I've tried other configurations for the GUS such as
IRQ 11 + 5
DMA 7+6
etc ...
When I did set up the gus without the sb in the computer, everything was ok (except for windows 3.11, I'll explain this later), games launched properly, etc.
Then I did put back in the sb 16. Doom 1 and 2 were still working using the GUS, however one must fall 2097 now crashes.
I tried to re-run the setup for the GUS, everything is fine at first, (I can select irqs, dmas, etc, the tests are okay) but once all the tests are made, it goes to another screen where the scrolling text says that it's testing the roland emulation. And then it says that DMA1 can't be used ... except that I never ever chose DMA1, and I can't even touch that setting.
After this, Doom and Doom 2 don't start anymore.
What should-I do ? This is my first GUS, I might be missing something there. Should-I take out the SB16 again to set up once again the GUS ? Should I forget to use these two sound cards in the same machine ?
Also, like I said I can't get windows 3.11 to output sound. The setup program did install everything for me under windows, but when windows wants to play sound, all I can hear is a short "pop!" and that's all.
