I just recieved Indiana Jones:Fate of Atlantis and I want to play the sound with dialouge. I have an IBM Thinkpad triple booting Win2k, Win98, and DOS 6.22. I have a Cirrus Logic Crystal WDM Codec and I can't get it to work in DOS. Is there a generic driver I can download? or is there another way I can do this?

I would imagine the game will have a Config section that will enable you to tell it what sound you have. Dos doesn't know what is in the computer unless you tell it.

I can tell you what I ran into. I'm working on an HP pavilion that has the 810 chipset w/integrated crystal audio (cs4299). I could not get sound in a dos box. From what I could find, there is no real-mode SB emulator that will allow the 4299 to work in real mode... I'm not sure if the thing came this way or not, but after upgrading to Win ME, it had no sound in dos boxes because ME used it's Crystal WDM codec driver. I played around with it for quite some time and finally found what made it work for me. I downloaded the latest version of the drivers from cirrus logic (the non WDM windows 95 drivers) and then went in to add-remove hardware. I added a multi-media device and hit have disk and pointed it at the win95 drivers. One of the choices is Crystal Audio Codec Game device which is the SB Emulation layer for the win95 version of the drivers. It caused it to load the emulation .vxd's which worked with the WDM driver that ME loaded. Now the blaster variable is getting set in the dos box and even the MIDI is working. Hopefully this helps. But I'd say if you are trying to get this sucker working in real mode, you are not only barking up the wrong tree, you are barking in the wrong forest. I could not find ANY real mode drivers for this beast. All of the literature I found on the Crystal WDM Codec (specifically the 4299) referred to Win 9x/ME/NT/2K/XP drivers. Not a single reference to DOS. Just bite the bullet and shell out the 20 bucks for a real SB if you must have sound in real mode DOS. Since the new SB's are pnp, you'll have to change the pnp OS setting in your bios so that the bios enumerates the SB instead of waiting for the OS to do it (pnp OS installed = NO). Otherwise, the dos games won't see the SB card because I'm pretty sure that the new SB's don't include any REAL mode dos support either... I guess I'm not that serious of a gamer. The performance I get in a win/dos box is good enough for me. Good Luck

Oops. I just re-read the post and noticed that you are referring to a stinkpad... Kind of hard to put an SB in one of those beauties... I guess you could get an extigy or something but I doubt it has dos support either... Best of luck
