After getting a Yamaha Genius A151-A00 sound card that was DOA, I explained my problem to the seller on eBay and he sent me another one, and it works fine in Windows. But in FreeDOS 1.2 there are...problems.
The OPL works fine in every game, but the PCM audio is bugged (will cut off, crash the game, or most often, not play at all) in most games, with the exceptions being Descent and Quake from the games I've tried, which work fine. Line-in will only work if setupsa /s is run first. Terminal Velocity reacts the worst to my card, hanging the entire system after playing a test sound once that is supposed to be played twice. I've considered messing with the jumper pins but I have no jumpers on hand, nor can I find a manual. I could buy some jumpers but I would basically be poking things at random with no idea what I'm doing.
I'm at a loss. Should I get another model of OPL3-SAx card? Or give up and use a PCI card and run the TSR and EMM386 all the time? Or even just pony up the $100 or so to get an AWE64 and live with CQM for FM synth? Does the OPL3-SAx only work in MS-DOS and not FreeDOS? MS-DOS 6.22 is also affected.
I've attached my AUTOEXEC.BAT in case it will help. It looks like the forum software ate the attachment and my USB floppy drive bricked itself and I can't copy it over again, sorry!
