GP2 soundcard setup refuses to recognize my SoundBlaster 16.
My rig:

- P166
- 32Mb
- Matrox Millenium 2Mb
- SoundBlaster 16

Any have a similar setup working?

I reinstalled the game on another drive and it works now.
It seems the soundcard setup does not work at all if it
fails during the install. This might have been because I
didn't have the sb drivers loaded at the time (many games
do not require them).
Thanks for the two helpful emails I got.

I found I had to enter the HIGH dma channel to get it to work.

Not to mention that I had to install under Win95 as the DOS install
would dump me to dos after selecting English....

But it was worth the hassle!

Hi,
        What are the settings for your SB16? are you using IRQ10 by any
chance? try to select manually SB8 and see if that works. We had no
problems at all with the SoundBlaster cards as long as they are
configured correctly.

Best,

Isn't the card.

iP133

My SB16 PnP was autodetected & works just fine on 220 5 5.

Seems (GP2) selects high DMA (default).
