Hey all kindly dos lovers. i have recently bought me a rally mint P2 400mhz with 160mb ram. it has 2 pci slots, 2 isa slot and 1 agp slot. Well what bother my most is the soundcard. It is plugged in a isa slot. it is a card like this
http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?file … 616&menustate=0
well, there is no driver loaded in my autoexec.bat file, but the sound work in most game. But some games says that the sound is not SET and thherefor sound is disabled. My guess is that it is not set in autoexec bat. but i will load drivers, i have always done that, and i wanna do it now, but i cant remeber how its done in autoexec.bat and where to put my drivers.
okay i download the ess_isa.zip
in that zip file there is a folder called es1869
in that folder there is 5 files
ES1868.COM
ESSCFG.EXE
ESSCFG.INI
ESSVOL.EXE
GO.BAT
Which one of them is the driver ??
Okay i put the files in c:\dos\drivers\sound
What shall my autoexec.bat lines looks like ? and do i need anything in config.sys too ??
Last, how can i see that my soundcard driver is loaded and my soundcard is registered as the one i have in the computer, ess1868 card.
Thanks for reading and eventually helping me !
Best regards
