Hi, I'm running DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.1 on Virtual PC 2007.

My sound works in DOS, but not Windows. I tried installing the soundblaster drivers (both 1.0 and 1.5). They install OK and I put in the correct IRQ etc.

The apps then seem play sound but all I hear is the odd click or squeek. What could be wrong?

I stumbled across the solution now.

If I run in the high colour modes the sound doesn't work.. but it does work in 256 colour mode.

Very odd, but I have some working sound which is good enough.

That is strange but how did you get high color modes with win3.x in the virtual machine.

Just installed the Trio driver and they are there.

I didn't really sort out my sound though, the sound blaster 1.5 driver only seems to work in 8 bit which doesn't really sound very good!

Thanks I'll give that a try, On the sound there is the win3.x driver supplements from Microsoft, on those disk they may have a better sound driver.. Look for Microsoft Supplemental Drivers Library there is like 7 disk though. Search for them I'm not sure if I can link to them here they are not copyrighted software though just drivers.

I don't think sound ever did work well in windows 3.x or very few cards where supported.
