Hi All, i recently installed win 3.11 (along with win95 and xp) in order to run some old dos games that have sound issues. i have tried everything to get these games to work, but with no luck. my question is, is there anyway to get my soundblastr live platinum to work under win 3.11? also, an off topic question, is there anyway to make the load time for win 3.11 to load longer (i like to see the win 3.11 logo). thanks Brad

most dos games use the pc speaker, to enable it, click the little speaker in the system tray. the pc speaker is usually turned the whole way down, now turn it the whole up. anyway, did you try going to www.creativelabs.com or driverguide.com

Hi Brad. I couldn't get sound on my Windows ME and Soundblaster Audigy setup on DOS games either. Then I found a cure. I don't know if it would work on your setup though. I've been playing DOOM, Wolfenstein 3D and Phantasmagoria. The sound is even better on the Audigy card than on my previous pci Soundblaster setup. You need a DOSDRV folder on your Soundblaster disk. If you don't have it, I could probably email you the Audigy version and you can see if it works. Here are the instructions - If you use Windows ME and a Soundblaster Audigy card, this does not support DOS sound. However, just recently I discovered a cure posted by Bryan Kraynack. In a nutshell, copy the folder called DOSDRV from the Audigy installation disk onto your hard drive. Open the DOSDRV folder and locate a file called OScheck.exe. Delete this file. Run Setup.exe from the DOSDRV folder. In my case the first time I ran Setup.exe I still got the warning window saying it would not work with ME and will exit. At first I thought Bryan’s cure wouldn’t work for me. I decided to click Setup.exe one more time and the 2nd time the DOS drivers were installed. I then rebooted. The first DOS game I tried was Wolfenstein3D. Success! Both music and sound FX worked. The next DOS game I tried was DOOM. Music but no sound FX. I figured it must be an IRQ or DMA problem. I ran the System Information utility to find out what IRQs and DMAs my SB emulation used. In my case, it is – Address – 220 - IRQ 7 and DMA 3. I ran Setup.exe within the DOOM folder and changed the IRQ and DMA settings then started the game. Music and sound FX worked. The same thing happened with Duke3D. After running Setup.exe from within the game folder and resetting my IRQ and DMA settings I had sound. Thank you Bryan. I looked for a year and a half for something that would get my DOS sound to work in ME with the Soundblaster Audigy card.
