I have installed MsDOS 6.22 and i dont get sound with my old DOS games.. what do i have to do? what drivers do i need and where can i find them? thanks

You need the SoundBlaster Live! SB16 emulation driver for DOS. The site I found it on no longer exists, but I'm sure it can be found someplace else. It's about 5mb if I remember correctly. It should also tell what lines to put in your autoexec.bat and config.sys files. SB16 emulation also works in Win9x/ME so most games will run just fine in Windows.

i found this page http://atlas.hemmet.chalmers.se/livecenter/showpage.php?name=sb16 , is something like this you were talking about? thanks

Yes, that's it exactly. It tells how to make the boot disk, but you can copy the files to your DOS directory instead and make the appropriate changes to your autoexec.bat and config.sys files. Also be sure to edit ctsyn.ini to point to your default.ecw file. I think the page tells how to do all of this. Good luck

Ok i did it thanks :)

Hi, I'm not an expert at doing all this, and am having some trouble. When trying to start the Sb16init it says emm386 file drivers aren't installed. It would be really helpful if someone could email or post with an easy to understand way of getting all this to work. My understanding of creating bootdisks is pretty limited. Thanks!!

Emm386.exe is a DOS program to initialize your EMS memory.. this memory is essential to get sb16init to work. First locate where your emm386.exe is! I'll put 2 exemple of an config.sys and autoexec.bat file! CONFIG.SYS DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.exe RAM HIGHSCAN DOS=HIGH,UMB DEVICEHIGH=C:\CDROM\GSCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD000 **Note: RAM, HIGHSCAN and DOS=HIGH,UMB is used to optimise your memory setting AUTOEXEC.BAT @ECHO OFF SET CTSYN=C:\SBLIVE SET BLASTER= A220 I5 D1 H5 LH C:\SBLIVE\SBEINIT.COM LH C:\MOUSE\GMOUSE.COM LH C:\CDROM\MSCDEX.exe /D:MSCD000 **Note: LH is also used to optimize conventional memory! Now all you have to do is to correct your directory setting and file name.. but it should look like this.. That's it!
