![]() ![]() The same card though provides sound within Win 98, and non-DOS gaming, on my more "modern" 775 G31 mobo, but without support for DDMA within the chipset, there is no sound at all for DOS games, either in W98 or pure DOS mode.Īgain this is my own experience and opinion, more DOS purists will disagree with this, but based on budget and being limited to PCI, it's served me well. I use this card via an integrated sound chip on my MS-6156 440BX motherboard, which does have ISA, but again all down to budget, and an actual physical PCI card for my P4 socket 478 build, obviously with no ISA slots, both fine in W98 DOS and pure DOS mode. Forget game music with it though, the FM is terrible via SB16 emulation, but general MIDI is good, and sound effects via SB16 emulation works 100% - the card is also cheap, and works well with gaming within 98/XP usage as well. If you have the utility in the DOSDRV directory, you can use it to test dos functionality of the card (after rebooting with the new line added). ![]() Primarily this update includes a recent fix for an audio distortion problem that occurs when the Sound Blaster 16Xpress chip was left running overnight. ![]() I fall into that bracket and use an ES1371 PCI card, but with Creative 128 PCI drivers. This download contains the latest drivers for Creative Sound Blaster 16, 32, or AWE sound cards operating under Windows 95 or 98. Not everyone has a working board with an ISA slot, nor the funds to buy cards such as AWE32/64 etc etc. ![]()
