: : : : Guys,

: : : : I feel kind of dumb posting this question, but I know someone out here will know off the top of their head. What are the command lines I need to put in the autoexec.bat to get my sound blaster 16 to have sound when I boot directly to Win'98 DOS.

: : : : I set up a boot menu so I can boot directly to ArcadeOS by default or to windows so I can update stuff. In ArcadeOS the games say audio initialization failed because I know it's not pulling the info for the sound card when it boots directly to ArcadeOS. Thanks in advance for the help.

: : : config.sys
: : : DEVICE=C:\SB16\DRV\CTSB16.SYS /UNIT=0 /BLASTER=A:220 I:5 D:1 H:5
: : : DEVICE=C:\SB16\DRV\CTMMSYS.SYS
: : : autoexec.bat
: : : SET SOUND=C:\SB16
: : : SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6
: : : SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E
: : : C:\SB16\DIAGNOSE /S
: : : C:\SB16\SB16SET /P /Q

: : What file do I need to install the DOS driver. The computer isn't seeing the sound card when it boots directly to DOS at all. When it is boot up it says that the SET BLASTER=A:XXX is a bad argument. I used the Dos driver off of the creative web site but it wouldn't install when I booted directly to DOS, it said that it was still running under windows. Thanks in advance

: I use the original driver of my sb16 whith that lines on config.sys and autoexec.bat the card work perfectly in dos if you don't have the drivers give me your's email and i send the driver is only 580k

OK I'm getting closer. I looked around and finally dug out my old install disks that origionally came with my sound blaster. I loaded the PnP config manager that came on the disks. ArcadeOS doesn't stop at audio initialization anymore, ie the games start up, but there is still no sound. I added the lines to my autoexec.bat that you suggested, but I don't have the file sb16set that you call in the last line. If you could e-mail me this file, it might be the last hurdle I have to jump to make this work. I'm not sure why this file didn't load with my driver but I searched my hd and it's not there.

Thanks,
