After looking thru a lot of Win95 drivers using this topic as a guide: Anyone own the Digitan DSAC-300 sound card?
I found a package of w95, win31, and dos drivers. Here is the W95 and DOS files.
There are no instructions but in the /DOS folder there is a DOSCFG.EXE. Also in the Win section are two executables, one 18max10t.exe and ad1815_6.exe.
Maybe one of those will help set it for DOS mode. Be sure to run them in Real DOS not a Win9x dos window.
Let us know if they worked. BTW: do you have a 'set blaster' line in your DOS autoexec.bat ? Most old games require one...

Thank you very much! Now I can run DOS games with sound without having to run the Win95 GUI first. In the DOS folder in the archive that you published earlier, there is almost everything needed to install the sound card drivers, except the correct driver file ad1815.exe.
First of all, I tried to run DOSETUP.BAT which in turn run DOSCFG.EXE, but it failed with a "File Copy error". With hex editor I was able to figure out that it wants to copy ad1815.exe file. For my luck, when I was looking for a suitable driver, I found an archive containing, among other things, a file ad1815_6.sys. Since the installer tried to create an entry 'DEVICE=am1815.exe ...' in the config.sys file, I renamed am1815_6.sys in am1815.exe and copy it into the driver folder. After that installation was successful.
Installer creates 'DEVICE=am1815.exe ...' line in CONFIG.SYS with lo-o-ong list of parameters and 'DOSMIXER.EXE ...' and 'SET BLASTER = ... ' lines in AUTOEXEC.BAT . After reboot WAR2 runs with sound and music.

PS You mentioned that you have a Win 3.X driver. Could you please post it here to create a complete package.

Wow OK. Funny thing: the file named ad1815,exe is in the Win31 folder. Did not know it was needed for the DOS part.
Here is the win31 part. I know it may be a pain but can you re-try the dos setup using the win31 included ad1815.exe ?

Thanks for Win3x driver. I'll try it on occasion. As for ad1815.exe in this archive, it fails with "AD1815 Not Found!" error.
Unfortunately, in the process of experimenting, I came across another problem. After power up initialization of the card by DOS drivers goes well and software (games) can see it, but there is no sound, like output is muted. For the sound card to work correctly, it is necessary to load the Win95 GUI at least once after powering up the PC. After that, I can reboot into pure DOS (even using Reset button) as many times as necessary - the sound works fine with DOS drivers. But after power off it is necessary to boot into Win95 again. Same situation with Unisound driver.
