Hello there,

I have a Sound Blaster PCI128 (CT4700 on the pc board). I am trying to get sound for DOS. I have managed to do this, however none of my old dos games nor Impulse Tracker find the sound card. It seems as if the sound card is installing on IRQ 10 / 11 or 12, I have played with my bios and thats how i have made it jump around from IRQ 10 to 12.

The sound driver (apinit.exe loads successfully and on IRQ 11).
I think the dos games and apps dont recognise IRQ 11 , they like IRQ 7 , but how

I dont know what else to try here. I have tried VDMSOUND and also normal XP managing the memory with the program. There is a problem with EMS memory , where I just dont have anything.
(I have tried the EMM=RAM entry in the config.nt file for windows XP , doesnt dam work)

This is why i am trying to do this in normal DOS mode (windows 98se boot files).

Can anybody assist here?

Thanks

Don't forget you need to load up sound drivers for your card in DOS before any program will recognise it.

Hi,

If you read my post correctly, then you will see that I manage to load the sound card but it loads on IRQ 11.
I have loaded drivers , yes. It says succ... init....
