i am not a programmer but i would suggest that you make a "sound blaster emulator" similar to this: virtual sound blaster http://zap.eltrast.ru/en/dldos.html it worked for me back then, using pc speaker for sound output. vsb can also output to parallel port for covox devices. i tried it again recently but the game i was playing wanted "sb v2.x". vsb is only v1.x. i talked to the author and he gave me a link to the source: http://cs.ozerki.net/zap/pub/vsb/ it also includes tasm. i guess what would happen is "sb emulator" will translate the data for output to the newer audio hardware like ac97. why sb emulator? because we cannot rewrite the already existing games and apps that make use of the SB protocol. there was a brief discussion similar to this here: http://www.bttr-software.de/forum/mix_entry.php?id=3174&page=1&order=time&category=all if any of you picks up vsb, please keep the existing audio output (covox, pc speaker, etc.) because wolf3d on a 386 with full sound WITHOUT the soundcard is just too cool. the author of vsb is Andrew Zabolotny. http://zap.eltrast.ru/en/frames.html --- ... just two cents from a non programmer. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcdos2k/ ____________________________________________________________________________________ You rock.
