Most old DOS games only work with ISA soundcards. If your soundcard is PCI, USB, AC97 or HDA, only a few more modern DOS programs such as certain media players can use them in the general case. The good news is that your computer seems to be old enough to still "know" what ISA slots are: Some older PCI soundcards come with drivers for such mainboards which create the illusion of ISA soundcards for DOS games. Your ESS Solo is exactly in that category: An old PCI sound card which has drivers which make it look a bit like an ISA sound card on mainboards with DDMA and other classic features. The drivers use tricks to bridge some signals, but the Solo hardware already knows how to be similar to ISA soundcards: Chances are good that Adlib/OPL3/FM or wave/DSP work in some games on your old mainboard, with suitably adapted settings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e14dFZWi2eI mentions some ESS PCI Audio DOS Device Drivers 2.30D / 2.31D Another approach and driver or setup tool are listed here: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=35611 Regards, Eric _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
