Heyyyyyyoooo
I have a Windows 98 pc with a Sound Blaster Vibra 128 card. Every game I have from Blood to Blake Stone has sound and music working. Rise of the Triad is the only exception. I can only get sounds working in the setup program. When I try to set up music in General Midi everything just breaks and the setup program is reduced to a glitched out window. Dosbox is not an option as it runs very poorly on my pc. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I am as smooth as a gravy train with flaming biscuit wheels.

General Midi, are you sure? This card doesn't support GM.

General Midi works for Doom games and Blood on my pc. The card is a CT4810.

That's Sound Blaster PCI 128, nothing to do with Vibra.

Nie tylko, jak widzicie, w tym trudność, że nie zdołacie wejść na moją górę, lecz i w tym, że ja do was cały zejść nie mogę, gdyż schodząc, gubię po drodze to, co miałem donieść.

I know a lot of these cards have weird limitations in DOS games. Is there anything I can do?

I can't remeber if this was one of the games that caused me issues on my related PCI 64.
If you select SoundBlaster as the music device does that work?

I tries it just now with SoundBlaster for music and the instant I selected it in setup the program terminated and was reduced to a blurry, janky window. SoundBlaster works for sound but not music for some reason.
