Whenever I attempt to setup these games sound blaster 16 sound FX on my i486DX2 66 computer which uses this board; https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/fic-486-gvt#bios , some of the games crash and even hang the system unless I disable sound FX and either have no sound at all or using only midi and then the game works fine. Such examples such as Doom, Doom ii, hexen, heretic and a few others have this issue while games such as Dark Forces, Sim city 2000, Tie Fighter and more do not and run great with sound FX and midi together. I have a sound blaster 16 and cirrus logic 5428 vlb card and vlb io controller. I tried the sound card with a Pentium 75mhz socket 7 board and all the games work fine with that. Could it be the bios rom or settings. Also I checked the necessary IRQ's and in the other game, they work fine as they should and should have worked for the other games I have issues with.
