Hello everyone!
@JazeFox Great work!!! Thanks for sharing with the community.

I have two cards: an OPTI 82C931 and a CMI8329a

With the OPTI one version 0.81b it works great.

However, with the CMI8329a I am getting the following error
Unknown PnP card [CMI8329] found

If I run UNISOUND.COM /CL I get
Card #1 [CMI8329] AD-CHIP Audio Adapter

I am running the following command as in the help
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4 J200 P330

I saw that in v0.75b the support for this card was fixed. I wonder if for some reason it got broken in v0.81b.
Did anyone have the same issue as me with the latest version?

I was searching for v0.75b so I can try if my card works on that version but I did not find it. Can someone please point me to the link?

Many thanks in advance.

Is there some status on Mediavision card(such as Jazz16 and Premium 3D) support?

This driver is really nice!
Just one question, is it possible to implement an errorlevel (for use in batch files), e.g. errorlevel 1 if driver was not loaded (because of wrong option or soundcard not detected) and errorlevel 0 (only) in case of success? (or vice versa)

I am also wondering if there is any documentation on this. I'm trying to set up a hardware detection batch file and error levels would be fantastic.

Well, I have made UNISOUND work with my CMI8329a card.
The solution was not set the recommended configuration SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4 J200 P330
and just run UNISOUND.COM in the AUTOEXEC.BAT. In that way, UNISOUND autodetects the card and works amazingly.

BTW, I also found the win 9x drivers for the card along with the original DOS drivers please check this post for more info
