Hallo, I have got a compaq deskpro xe 466. It is a 486dx2/66 pc with Windows for workgroup 3.11 and Dos 6.22. 1) I don't know what sound-card is installed in (but there is one!).. and then my lovely 486 has no sound.. only "beep" :( Do you know my sound-card and its addres and drivers? 2) are there any wfw3.11's movieplayers that can manage "file.asf"? Thank you!

ASF video is for at least windows 95, its 32-bit.

Open the computer and look at the soundcard!

1-I've already open it..The soundcard is integrated in the motherboard and there isn't nothing write on it! 2-I've got win32s installed in..

Compaq 486 Deskpro's came with an onboard soundblaster clone called "Compaq Business Audio". I think the drivers are still available from the compaq web site. I have a DX250 Deskpro as well as a 486/33 which use these drivers. Failing that it may be "Windows Sound System" compatible and you could try that if all else fails. I guess you have already tried using old Soundblaster Pro drivers? RC

Thank you for your suggestion; at least now I know that my souncard is Soundblaster compatible..but when I test wfw3.11's soundblaster driver 1.0 (but also 1.5), it doesn't work. It asks me a "port" (with these possible values:210,220,230,240,250,260) and an "interrupt"(with these possible values:2,3,5,7). I have tested all the values combinations but the answere is always:"the port setting does not match those on the card. Check your hardware settings, and then try again". Then I have used a DOS program (hwinfo) that checks my hardware... It says that my soundcard is "NCIPHER"(??) and its device ID is 0100(??).. I don't know what it means.. What can I do? (can you send me the correct driver?) Thank you!
