Dear Vogons,
This is my system:
Windows 98 SE
DirectX 8.1
I am using these drivers:

Tualatin 1.26Ghz
128MB RAM
Mainboard with VIA Apollo Pro 133
When starting dxdiag and when performing the DirectSound Test I cant hear anything. There is no error message, I just cant hear playing the sounds via dxdiag DirectSound test. Windows sounds are playing flawlessly. I also tried playing Half-Life 1. The menu sounds are hearable, but right after starting a Level the sound has gone.
So I tried moving the acceleration slider within dxdiag DirectSound to different settings. But only when disabling hardware acceleration totally DirectSound is hearable.
Is this normal when using an AWE64 under Windows 98?
Thanks for your advice.
