Hi !
I use a HP Thin Client as a retro machine, with can boot on MS-DOS, W98 and XP. I has a Yamaha soundcard for near perfect MS-DOS sound and its great.
Now, the AC-97 is not activated under MS-DOS, that's logical. Under XP, of course it works and i can put the Yamaha soundcard output directly into the Mic/Line In AC'97 entry of my HP thin client, and i can hear out using the AC'97 phone plug next to the Mic/Line In (the final goal of this is be able to output sound using the Display Port to HDMI output !!). So its okay and the Mic/Line In entry does work well under XP, i can hear my Yamaha soundcard singing.
But how can i activate the same thing under MS-DOS ? AC'97 is enabled in Bios, but not under MS-DOS. No sound, no Line In volume, nothing. Is there some programs on MS-DOS being able to activate/set volume of this Realtek AC'97 chip ? Thanks for any help 😀
