I have a SoundBlaster Live! EMU10K1 and it is working perfectly in Windows games, but DOS is giving me no sound at all. I have researched for many hours and I just can not figure it out. I installed my windows drivers from a installation CD I picked up on here. I was referred to a driver website a few weeks ago on here to get "WDM" drivers. But the website kept giving me a run around and I could not actually download them. The installation CD I got from here loaded up the windows drivers fine no tweaking needed. I am not sure if it downloaded DOS drivers from the CD or not. I just booted up the CD on my Windows 98SE PC and selected the "win9x.exe" file and all worked.
I am trying to run Duke Nukem 3D that I installed through DOS, and a doom 3.5 disk. Duke Nukem won't even boot without the DOS sound set up, but Doom plays but with no sound. There are a ton of options before loading each game and I am wondering maybe I need to set up some things differently to point to the card either in the game setup and/or in the windows device manager or sound setup. There are a bunch of channels for various options regarding sound in music before Duke and Doom.
Is there a way to troubleshoot this to see if they are indeed installed, or if I just need to tweak some settings?
