Grand Prix 2 / AWE64 Value - no sound

Hi Peeps,

Asking your advice on a problem with GP2 after upgrading to a SB AWE64
Value. I cannot get the setup program to recognise any sound card, whether
I manually select or auto detect. I have the SET BLASTER in autoexec, I've
ran CTCM.EXE and AWEUTIL as provided with the sound card, all to no avail.
Sound works fine in other games - but I cannot *force* this gp2 with card
settings, it want's to find it for itself!

Anyone had this problem? Occurs in both DOS and Win95.

Many thanks in advance,
Daniel Howell

Daniel,

The AWE 64 card does work in DOS with GP2. Make sure you have the following
entries in your files. Your exact values may be different than mine.

AUTOEXEC.BAT

SET SOUND=C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\CTSND
SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E MODE:0
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 E620 T6

CONFIG.SYS

DEVICE=C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\CTSND\DRV\CTSB16.SYS /UNIT=0 /WIN95 /BLASTER=A:220
I:5 D:1 H:5
DEVICE=C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\CTSND\DRV\CTMMSYS.SYS

DOSSTART.BAT

C:\WINDOWS\CTCM

Once you have the proper path statements in each file, you should hear sound.
You may have to run the GP2 setup program again to get it to detect and
configure. Good luck!

No works fine ... I think it set it`s self up as a 100%
Compatable/16bit card though
