GP2: sb16 problem

GP2 soundcard setup refuses to recognize my SoundBlaster 16. My rig: - P166 - 32Mb - Matrox Millenium 2Mb - SoundBlaster 16 Any have a similar setup working? __ Petteri Ollila

>GP2 soundcard setup refuses to recognize my SoundBlaster 16. >My rig: >- P166 >- 32Mb >- Matrox Millenium 2Mb >- SoundBlaster 16 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. __ Petteri

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....

We had no problems at all with the SoundBlaster cards as long as they are configured correctly. Best, Gabriel/Spectrum HoloByte & MicroProse support

Seems (GP2) selects high DMA (default). Regards, --- Cogito Ergo Sum --- * * Fidonet: (temporarily unavailable) * Keiron Rado, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia *
