I've been given a pentium machine with a sound blaster 16 ct2290 and separately an awe32 ct3900. On windows 95 with the default drivers the first card works fine and also restarting in ms-dos mode. However after i installed the awe32 i get no fm synthesis sound anymore. The resources are the same for both cards, i've checked the card and it's jumpered for opl at port 220. In doom i get no music when selecting sound blaster or adlib, either from within windows or restarting in ms-dos mode, however doom won't give any error. Selecting awe32 for music works however. Wolf3d also lets me select sound blaster for music and sound effects but i get no sound. Sound fx are fine for both games. I get no music either in doom95, prboom or when playing midis.
In windows i get a resource conflict in device manager for the advanced wave effects synthesis device but there are no conflicts listed, code 12.
Upon visual inspection the card looks fine, it has a ct1747 opl chip, but i get no fm music. The card was suspect, i got it for free and i was told there was a bad contact with another mobo and both serial port chips were fried. So i guess it's a bad card and there's nothing to do right?
