Hi,
I've been trying everything I can think of and reading every forum post on setting up isa sound blaster cards in DOS to no avail. I successfully set up a sb16 vibra on a 486sx dos pc with no issues with all the default blaster values. On my socket 7 p133, I am having no luck with a awe64 or sb16. Both keep giving me irq 10 and I am unable to change it to irq 5. I looked all throughout my bios and the only options for irq values are "pnp-isa" or "legacy" and I've tried all manual and auto settings. I even tried setting my lpt 1 to irq 10 (gives me a choice of 7 or 10), but then my sb changes to irq 9. When trying to force it to 5, it says 5 is occupied. Msd.exe says lpt2 is using 5, but I don't have a 2nd parallel port, and there's no option in bios regarding lpt2. Another issue is that my mt midi won't set to h330, only to h300, so midi won't work in most games either. Is anyone able to help me with this issue?
Thanks,
Joe
