The second memory module (32 MB) is not working. Check it.

Yes, I know - tried re-seating, but didn't help, giving up for now...

Also, replaced the sound card - see the current report.
The current card is based on 82C933 - but yes, I can see that the ISAPNP ID is "OPT0931", and it may be impossible to tell 931 and 933 apart using safe methods.

Anyway, there's something wrong with this screen:

The attachment snd.png is no longer available

Is it supposed to display current IRQ and DMA, or the list of all possible IRQs and DMAs?
These are the current settings:

The attachment sndinit.png is no longer available

there may also be a second DMA channel - BIOS displays two DMA channels (1,5), but SNDINIT only one, as above.

Thank you for the bug report.

Try to run the latest beta version. Should be fixed.

Yes, seems OK now.
Compare the two reports: one with the sound card initialized by SNDINIT, and the other - by UNISOUND.
Obviously SNDINIT only enables the SB mode, while UNISOUND - both SB and WSS modes.

BTW: version 7.00 reports "MPU-401" at 330h, beta reports "SB-MIDI"...
I think it's MPU-401, at least that's what SNDINIT displays.

See the current reports:
- after SNDINIT in SB Pro mode
- after SNDINIT in WSS mode
- after UNISOUND in both modes

I'm about to replace the sound card with another, so expect more this weekend...

Replaced the card with very similar: Opti 82C931

ASTRA works well on any PC compatible hardware (from 8086/8088 to the latest Intel Core or AMD Ryzen processors)

The Ryzen screenshot implies you have an RTX 3060 Ti with a mere 16 MB memory

See my graphics card database at www.gpuzoo.com
Constantly being worked on. Feel free to message me with any corrections or details of cards you would like me to research and add.

  • BOTH.RPT - nothing about the WSS part, while earlier versions did detect it
  • MIDI Interface sometimes identified as "SB-MIDI", while both SNDINIT and UNISOUND show MPU-401 at 330h. But I don't know if it's totally wrong - are SB-MIDI and MPU-401 mutually exclusive?
  • a typo: "Blster"

ASTRA detects video memory size directly on NVIDIA TNT - GeForce GTX 200 family.
Unfortunately, this method does not work on modern video cards.

The VESA function returns a video memory size of 16 or 32 MB on modern video cards.

Yet another card: Opti 82C924

Configured for DMA 1, and MPU at 330h.

Thank you.

On some cards, autodetection of IRQ and DMA may be wrong.
Also you can see IRQ and DMA in the ISA/PnP devices section.

Tested the new version and noticed that the amount of memory size is 0 KB on the AWE64 in the System Summary while it is properly detected in the detailed information.

The AWE64 has a SIMMCONN module with 32 MB SIMM installed (seen as 28 MB due to EMU8K limitations).
