I've installed my drivers for my sound card for DOS. Now when I start my PC, the sound card information pops up, and I get this at the very end of it, "Set SB port to I/O=220 IRQ=A DMA=1." Now, am I right in saying that I have to configure my Bios to this? If so, can someone help me. I have a PVB533-VM motherboard. I can get music to play, but not sound fx.

If it really is a sound card then (understandably) the BIOS won't be involved - if the sound is integrated, then there would be an enable/disable option in the BIOS, and maybe others "Set SB port to I/O=220 IRQ=A DMA=1." Ok - SB & compatibles require a 'SETBLASTER= ' line, usually in c:\autoexec.bat, with those kind of parameters "I can get music to play, but not sound fx." From what, exactly? A game, or something else? Naturally, the parameters need to be the correct ones We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true

What Sound Card and what driver, a post here about SET BLASTER usage: http://www.computing.net/drivers/wwwboard/forum/5347.html

... and one has to wonder at 256Mb of RAM for humble DOS622 We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true

Aye 64MB is a plenty, it is probably some b---tardised WinDOS in reality as is the post I linked to....

IRQ=A doesn't ring a bell. But at my age, not much does. LOL If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

M2Go you know that it should ideally be: SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1
