Hi, Just thought I'd mention how I got sound to work for me. I'm running Windows 98SE and have an Aztech PCI288-Q3D sound card. I usually run old games with Dosbox but there were some I just couldn't get to work correctly (usually Legend games) so I created my own boot disk to start up in dos. To get sound working I put the following lines into my autoexec.bat file : ECHO ON C: CD C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM LH WAVEINIT.EXE /G0 /v LH WAVETSR.COM ... few more lines then CD C:\GAMES I originally copied waveinit.exe and wavetsr.com to my bootdisk and loaded them from there - they gave no sensible or informative error messages but simply didn't work - I got no sound. Since my solution works for me it implies to me that waveinit and wavetsr needed some files to be present in the same directory as them, but I simply don't know which files they are. By changing directories to the home directory of waveinit and wavetsr I don't need to know which files are needed because they obviously exist in that directory. Perhaps this idea could be adapted to your use. Note to users of the waveinit and wavetsr files - some versions of these files which are freely available from driver download websites are very buggy. I got the latest versions from the Aztech website and they don't work for me in dos, so I restored back to my earlier versions. I'm using waveinit.exe and wavetsr.com both dated 17/02/1999. Hope this helps somebody. |

the pci detection fails: no supported soundcard for the emulation was found. So you are out of luck. |

Adress, IRQ and DMA are three separate parameters corresponding to the soundcard. Usually it's a wrong IRQ that causes problems, but a wrong setting of any of the other two can also cause some serious SNAFU. |

Hey there, is there anyone out there who ever got the SB Emulation running, when booting from the Abandonia Bootdisk. The bootdisk works fine and I can even play NHL 93 (EMS required) but there is no sound. I put the files of the SBEmul into a directory specified in the autoexec.bat on the disk. The error message that will come back is: Detecting PCI device...failed What could be wrong? Just the "Address" of the SB, like IRQ or DMA. Hlp me pls Kim |
