Sound Problems with N2 & IBM MWAVE card

I have an IBM Aptiva M40 (Pentium 75 w/24MB ram) that uses an MWAVE modem/sound card. Last night I tried to install a soundblaster 32 and a new modem and remove the mwave card. Needless to say, I had problems getting the new cards to work, and since I have a race for an offline league due Saturday at midnight I reinstalled the Mwave card. The problem I now have is that when I try to run the game out of dos, the start up program gets to the point where the following is displayed: Digital Sound Port 220 IRQ 5 DMA 1 And then the program hangs. If I run setup in nascar and select no sound, the game loads normal. I know that the MWave cards proper values are 220,5,1 - and when I test the settings in setup I do hear the voice. Has anyone else experienced this problem, or have any advice for me. It is difficult to race with no sound, and it looks like I may have to in order to get my race in. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Jim

I Have an Mwave in an Acer. If I remember right I had to run the batch file fastcfg.bat after exiting to DOS the first time. This was in my MWW/DLL folder. Hope this helps lizard

I'm afraid that I can't help you much, except tell you that the problem is with your sound card setup. Chances are when you installed the soundblaster 32 it removed or remed out the lines in your sutoexec.bat file for the mwave card. You need to try reinstalling the dos drivers for the mwave card, or try telling the setup program you have a soundblaster pro or compatible. This selection will work with 95% of the cards out there, with settings 220, 5, 1. Let me know if this helps.
