N2, Win98 - No Sound?

Make sure you select a normal MONO SoundBlaster and use the IRQ and other SoundBlaster settings which the card is configured for in the Device Manager. On second thought make sire you have a SoundBlaster DOS type device in the device manager. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >Forgive me if this has been asked before... >I just installed WIn98 and re-installed N2 (all patches etc..) but I can't >get any sound in Windows.

Forgive me if this has been asked before... I just installed WIn98 and re-installed N2 (all patches etc..) but I can't get any sound in Windows. Every time I try to set it up it freezes up. I booted into DOS and auto-detected it fine, runs in DOS with sound fine, re-boot into windows and...nothing! Also, I'm getting one of those cheap $49 V2 from Creative and am curious to know if they work (and the 3dfx patch) in DOS for N2? I realize my system is behind the times, and a full upgrade is coming soon (recent college grad..) so please be kind... Thanks Mike Basden

Thanks Greg, but it still doesn't work. I'm using an ESS Audiodrive. Dos says its on 220 IRQ 0 DMA 0, Windows has it set up for 220 IRQ 10 DMA 3. I tried to reconfigure windows manually to IRQ 0 DMA 0, but the option doesn't exist in manual config. How do I know if my device is a 'Dos type' in device manager? Mike

My SBPCI64 (AudioPCI) has an entry in the Device manager under Sound, video and game controllers for 'Soundblaster PCI64 Legacy Device'. When I go to the properties for this device there is a tab for 'DOS Application Settings'. It is set to Port 220, IRQ7, DMA1 which are normal soundblaster DOS values. I am fairly certain that DOS programs cannot deal with IRQ 0 or 10. The SBPCI64 is only using one IRQ within W98 (IRQ9). -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com

up. I booted into DOS and auto-detected it fine, runs in DOS with sound fine, re-boot into windows and...nothing! I had similar problems. Try this: go to your autoexec.bat and config.sys files and put a REM in front of every line. You don't need these files anyway with win98. I would first uninstall the nascar game, then put the "rem" in the autoexec and config files, then reboot, then reinstall nascar and configure your sound card.
