My current system (sblive/a7v600-x/win98) with unfortunate does not detect the sound card in the DOS games started by Win98, despite having everything in place (Drivers, IRQ, conflicts etc.
) I know the problem is the KT600 chipset (a7v600-x) that no longer supports nmi.

I have an audigy 2 ZS, reading in the first post, reference is made to the advice to use the audigy instead of the release because the latter has compatibility problems.

Now I wonder: My Audigy 2 ZS on the KT600 and the sb16 emulation is detected?

I have an A7V600 with 98se and an Audigy 2 ZS and I can tell you it works.
But it's hugely resource dependant and you have to fiddle with different PCI slots.

Thank you so much! Can you tell me which slot did you put the audigy? Because at the moment I put the sblive on the third PCI slot from above to not have conflicts. I have only GPU and Sound Card

You have that backwards.

The advice is to use Audigy 2 and ZS cards on VIA chipsets since they are less susceptible to the VIA latency bug.

PC#1: Pentium MMX 166 / Soyo SY-5BT / S3 Trio64V+ / Voodoo1 / YMF719 / AWE64 Gold / SC-155
PC#2: AthlonXP 2100+ / ECS K7VTA3 / Voodoo3 / Audigy2 / Vortex2
PC#3: Core 2 Duo E8600 / Foxconn P35AX-S / X800 / Audigy2 ZS
PC#4: i5-3570K / MSI Z77A-G43 / GTX 980Ti / X-Fi Titanium

Thanks for the clarification 👍🏻
