I know this question has nothing to do with Windows but I couldn't find a forum that dealth with this. I can get digitized music with some of mu DOS games (yeah, I said DOS). Problem is I can't get sound effects in some of my classics like DOOM and Shadow Warrior. OMF works fine, sound and music, but not the other two. I put the same BLASTER environment settings I saw Win98SE use in my AUTOEXEC.BAT so I could get sound, but it doesn't work. Any suggestions other than get rid of those games and play DOOM95?

on newer sound cards like my SBLive! Platinum, it has to use a DOS Emulator, most games like Doom cannot take the higher IRQ that are set by windows (anything past IRQ 7 is usally too far for most older dos games) I know what you're talking about , I have a pile of those old games that I burned onto a single CD, because some games like Inca , the Diskettes were getting CRCs. I even had to back up my Win3.1 before those Diskettes went(Like I'd ever use it again). <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.com>kb244@kb244.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in : C++(both VC++ and Borland),VB1(dos) thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, HTML, Visual InterDev 6(ASP(WebProgramming/Vbscript)<br>

OK, the funny thing is the IRQ that Win98 used was 0. Yeah, so the BLASTER variable said: Port 220, IRQ 0, DMA 1. I used very different settings for OMF (220, 5, 1) and those worked to perfection. But, when used everywhere else, just music no sound, in DOS. But the KGEN and GENECYST work with sound in Win98. What next?<br><br>
