Hello, Eric "you may have to set the BIOS option to AC97 on/off or SB16 legacy support on/off or both, and you may have to use the VIAAUDIO.COM tool (see my other mail) to un-mute the VIA."
Yes, I enabled onboard audio (otherwise there's be no sound at all...) and also "Legacy audio support". Whether I use viaudio.com or not doesn't affect the way mpxplay works with the VIA option... "If your sound has speed troubles - on a Celeron 766 - then try if it helps to disable your (onboard) network card or disable your "USB simulates PS2" BIOS USB keyboard/mouse support. Those can eat lots of CPU time." That's the only remaining hypothesis, and I'll check it this evening. However, in SB Pro mode (with SB emulation enabled in BIOS), mpxplay detects SB Pro and pretends to play at about 6-11% CPU load. But with no actual sound. I have tried loading emm386 with "SB" option to no effect...
