I have a nice AMD K6-2+ system which I use a Diamond Monster Sound MX300 for Windows sound an a classic Sound Blaster 16 model CT1740 for pure DOS stuff
The problem is that something is run in windows everything it starts which changes my SET BLASTER line in autoexec.bat to Sound Blaster Pro settings for the MX300 to work in pure DOS which is quite annoying to say the least, lolol

Does anyone here have any experience with this card and know how to disable this thing that changes my autoexec.bat?

Start -> Run -> Type "msconfig" -> Startup tab -> Disable the "VortexTray" entry. Now you can set the BLASTER variable to SB16 settings and it won't be changed again to SBPro emulation settings.

Or just disable the Vortex Sound Blaster emulation in the device manager. That'll disable the Vortex dos driver completely.
