Hi,
i got a new Soundcard: Sound Galaxy Pro 16III-3D PnP.
Ok, no problems under Windows, and most DOS games are working using the Unisound driver.
But i found this:

Issues with poor digital sound quality
Poor digital sound quality in DOS is actually due to a setting in the soundcard's Mixer control utility. This can affect 1st-gen right up to 4th-gen cards. All you have to do is to load the Mixer control TSR (normally found under the relevant soundcard's subdirectoy called "utility") and look for a setting where you can toggle between MONO or STEREO (the older soundcards' Mixer control had drop down menus, whereas the newer ones had a more simplified Mixer control). Select MONO (not STEREO), save and exit. You can unload the Mixer TSR afterwards. If you playback your games' digital sounds now, the sound quality will not sound as distorted/muffled. Bear in mind that this won't affect the actual digital sound output - a stereo sound source will still produce stereo sound provided you select the correct option in the game (SB Pro or SB Pro 2).
Cool, but where can i find a matching standalone DOS driver and the Mixer tool with the mono/stereo toggle?
Thx and have a good one.
