Sound Problems Under DOS with Ensoniq PCI-64 - Help?

Posted by Brad on 11, 2001 at 10:59 PM:

Hey folks,

I'm trying to get a new PC set up with ArcadeOS and MAME in straight DOS (Not a Win98 DOS box) and having some trouble getting my sound card to work.

First of all, I have a card that's got an Ensoniq chip on it, but Windows detected it as a Soundblaster 64 PCI. I think it's just the Ensoniq clone though. ANYWAY, when I boot into DOS, I can't seem to get ArcadeOS to initialize the card. I have tried Soundblaster, Soundblaster32, and Ensoniq, and all 3 don't seem to work for me.

Under a Win98 DOS box, I did get ArcadeOS to start a ROM, but it locks up almost immediately (on the text OK screens).

Can anyone with this card (or anyone at all) tell me what I can put into my config.sys or autoexec.bat on my DOS boot disk to get ArcadeOS to find this card without a problem?

Thanks for any help!
