Okay, I just got a new computer with a Sound Blaster Vibra 128 sound card. I'm playing some old DOS games which are supposed to run with Sound Blaster 16 but the music sounds totally off. Is there a way I can emulate the sounds of Sound Blaster 16/Pro so the music plays properly and sounds proper?

My guess is no. You'll need a legacy Sound Card for the sound in Old DOS games to work properly. Old games used environment variables to obtain the information to send the sound info to the card directly, not through drivers. You may be able to get the sound to work by making a batch fiel for your DOS session which will set environment variables like BLASTER=blah blah blah. Sorry, I don't have the syntax for BLASTER card configuration, but it did include the memory address (220 rings a bell), the interrupt (which was IRQ 5 or 7, and was configured with jumpers on the card), and the generation of Sound Blaster card (1,2,3 or 4). My guess is your sound card will need to be ISA, not PCI. You will also need DOS drivers for your sound card, which probably don't exist. I am by no means an expert, but I keep old hardware around for that reason. Just becuase it's old, doesn't mean it's crap. -Doug
