Can anyone suggest a few different brand names(plus Part number) of ISA or PCI sound cards that will have downloadable(off Web), drivers for DOS, Win 3.11 and W98SE plus the important DOS sound tester program. I live in the bush and have to buy via mail. Have been misled on three allready purchased. Cannot get sound to work on a triple boot DOS6.22/Win3.11/98SE system. Thanks

the soundblaster 16 will werk in 3.1 /98 dunno about dos.

Here is my suggestion...try to purchase a YAMAHA OPL3-SAx Sound Card! Install it under Win98SE...once the Drivers are installed shutdown Win98SE & exit to DOS...the sound card will then automatically give u the option to configure it to work in DOS...the following line will be added to ur AUTOEXEC.BAT: SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4 Simply Reboot ur PC & ur done... The PC that I'm working on right now has a YAMAHA OPL3-SAx Sound Card installed in it...I haven't yet tested the Sound Card under Win3.1, so I cannot guareantee that it will work on it, but it will work in DOS & Win98SE... If u are able to purchase one of these great Sound Cards, I will send u a link to the most recent Sound Drivers that are available... HTH...

Hey I almost forgot... U could also search for a HiFi 16i ISA Sound Card...this card will definitely works in DOS, Win3.1, & Win98SE... Trust me on this one, I had one of those cards installed in my old system & I used it (for about two years) with all 3 Operating Systems (GUI)...I must say that it had great sound quality... HTH...

As for the Yamaha OPL3-SAx sound card, I can guarentee that it works in Win3.1 and DOS as I used it when I had my 3.1 computer some years back. Also used it in Windows 95.

Hi farl. My brother-in-law has this soundcard in his computer and it has beautiful sound as well as DOS drivers through to XP drivers. It's $10.00. http://www.dealsonic.com/cmedcmi86cha1.html Take care, Linda

Thanks everyone, have shot off emails to several used parts suppliers and hope to have replies next week. Will let forum know how I get on. The link Linda (XLWH) gave was very interesting, the card "C-Media CMI8738 6 Channel PCI Sound Card, Retail Package Part#: DSCMI87386EVT " fitted the bill at $us10 but unfortunately they do not ship to Australia. C Media are a chip maker and not a card maker. Have emailed Deal Sonic and hope they tell me the manufacturer so I can see if they have an Australian dealer. Google Australian searches did not turn up any details.
