Hi Mike, I shouldn't even have called this thing a bug. It is, at most, an issue of semantics. Because the SNTC screen message used the word "timezone", I thought it would write UTC+3. I'm probably right on that point (just ckecked it in the Wikipedia), but it was rather diselegant from me to fin

Tried several times to use "ordinary" Soundblaster Live! under DOS - and _never_ was able to make any use out of this card under DOS. Maybe someone of you managed to configure this card for DOS? Just out of curiosity, since I've got ISA cards, that I'm using with no problems whatsoever - but I'm w

Hi Johannes, > I have heard that the most soundcards work > with an old dosdriver for SB compatible cards. Maybe not. The Audigy driver will probably be designed only for Audigy cards. If the Audigy is AC97 compatible it might be easy for Creative to also support more AC97 compatible cards - but

Hi folks, Granted I am not using freedos so to speak, but realize that many dos tools cross editions. What tools are people using in freedos to experience streaming audio, or audio playback features, like those included after tele-simanars? Thanks, Karen
