Greetings,
I am posting this in this subforum as while it involves a sound card, it is for a game issue. I installed Alone in the Dark on my K6-III+ with my AWE32. When running the configuration, I cannot select Sound Blaster Pro. This was also happening with the card on a Socket 7/Pentium 166 MMX system. The regular Sound Blaster option with DMA works and sounds like it did back in the day (as far as I can remember,) but I don't understand why Sound Blaster Pro is greyed out when I can select it in other games, and I'm not sure if it sounds better than the regular SB in AitD? Does anyone have any info on this particular issue? I am also interested in any patches for DOS games for improved compatibility or added functionality when using a SB16 or AWE32.
After YEARS (since 2006 going by my join date) of building and configuring and reconfiguring systems and screwing around with emulation via DOSBox and 86box, I have settled on a FINAL PC build and configuration and am setting up my game library so that I can actually play and enjoy all of these games to the best they can possibly be via official patches, QOL fan patches, and music/sound patches (for example, I have patches for a couple of games which add the ability to use midi for music and FM for effects whereas the original release made you pick one or the other.)
Many thanks!
