The second post today is about my problem with the AWE32 I have, installed on same machine as other post(Valuepoint 6482 DX4 100MHz).
It's a CT3990 that is populated with 2x16mb sticks, so 28mb available(as AWE32 can't use all 32mb).
I bought the ram separately, so did not come with the card when I got it.
Installed the drivers, but on booting I get errors from diagnose and aweutil.
When running diagnose after booting, I can enter I/O adress to 280H, but when pressing "next" all I get is a red box with error that "Advanced WavEffects Synthesis" is found to be missing or faulty.
Am asked to try again, and then call technical support, if it happens again.
Something it does.
When running aweutil, I get "ERR012: AWE32 initialization failed".
I do remember having problems with this months ago, when tested on another computer, that I at best could get it to work as an ordinary SB16, and very rarely to work as it should.
But on this machine it looks to be non working.
Maybe got worse during storage.
I am thinking on setup my solder iron again, and re flow, but uncertain witch of the chips might be faulty.
Or if this is a common fault and maybe fixable.
For now I will have to do with an ESS1869F with Dreamblaster S1,as the Audican32 plus with Dreamblaster X2, as I viewed as an alternative, I can't find.
