Hi,
i found a sound card FCC ID: MGYPRO16PNP (ALS100, LS-212 clone chip) like mine, but with a second amplified speaker output. Finally loud enough under DOS. Unfortunately I can't get it to work properly. Both DOS and Windows 98 have problems. Many games work under DOS, as well as CD-Audio and MIDI. However, what only works occasionally are the games that depend on the SET BLASTER commands or need ADLIB/OPL2 support(?): Wolf3d, Oregon Trail, Prince of Persia, Monkey Island. I tested it with both UNISOUND and regular DOS drivers. Perhaps there is simply a defect, or incompatibility. All difficult to describe. Anyway, I always wanted to ask if there is another driver for DOS, where the card is hardly more than initialized, but maybe it's the mixer, and especially a better driver for Windows 98. The Win 95 driver had many problems and errors, the Win 98 driver I found belongs to the MA5ASound but works. It's just way too quiet compared to DOS. Do you have an alternative driver? It's really annoying, I have enough other sound cards by now, but only an Als100 card can do everything that an SB16 can do without the known problems.
I appreciate any help, thanks.
Edit: The problems under Win98 concern the games that should actually be running: Doom 1&2, Duke3D, etc. No real sound, just strange noises. MIDI works after manual resource allocation. However, the resources are also correct under Windows (A220 I5 D1/5). Any ideas on this?
Please let me know if I need any more info or screenshots. Thx!
