Also, when running dos games, i have no option to select soundblaster, or any sound card other than internal speaker. I have a Soundblaster Live card.
You first need to understand that there is no DOS in Win2K. The command line allows you to run most DOS programs.
Secondly, in Win2K no program is allowed access to hardware with going through the OS first. Unfortunately, that means _all_ DOS soundcard support is gone.
Fortunately, Vlad (the humble genius) has a solution for you in the form of VDMSound. Go to
https://sourceforge.net/projects/vdmsound/
And get this :
VDMSound-2.0.4-WinNT-i386.msi
Go here:
http://vdmsound.sourceforge.net/files/
and get these:
VDMSound.2.0.4.update1.zip
VDMSLaunchPad.v1.0.0.7.zip
Make sure to read the instructions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Run this:
VDMSound-2.0.4-WinNT-i386.msi
Please note the install location of the files. By default, this is:
C:\Program Files\VDMSound
Shutdown and restart (to be on the safe side).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Unzip this file:
VDMSound.2.0.4.update1.zip
to the previously mentioned location.
(Overwriting the older files).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Unzip this file to your Desktop (or any place you can easily find): VDMSLaunchPad.v1.0.0.7.zip
Inside it, Double-Click the install.bat file.
If it gives you a failure message, copy it down and post it in the VDMSound forum.
If you get a "success" message: Log off, then back on.

If you have questions on it, post them in the VDMSound forum.
