The problem is that there aren't just some "SB calls" used by DOS games.

i don't recommend creative SB pci cards for use in DOS. it's great in windows
and linux, but it is a pain to setup in dos. if you already have it, then go
for it. here are two websites to help you setup your SBPCI:

I'm not sure exactly what you're hunting for, but I've got lots of old
sound cards (as well as other hardware, modems, video cards, and so
on) and would be more than willing to send you one for the cost of
shipping.
They're all sitting in my work shop, and I don't have enough computers

There was, but nobody used it and it was only supported
by PCI graphics cards with built-in sound or similarily

significant number of games supported that either.

And I must add, if you have a newer notebook without DOS-compatible
sound hardware then there is unfortunally no way to get sound to work.

Hi! Off-list reply from me:
Basically most of the information can be summarized by
giving the DevelSound and that other sound related URL
in the drdoswiki, so maybe you could post those along

Okay so you use DOS in real hardware.

Depends. Modern mainboards use HDA or AC97 for sound.
Only modern DOS software like MPXPLAY can use AC97,

Hi!
Sorry, but I think depending on what you plan to do you will not have
much fun in DOS with that card.
But look at [1], if you are willing to pay a low price for an PCI addon
card you may get sound working.

if you use VMware you will nedd another driver... VMware creates a
virtual machine and that means that everything is virtual. Including
that your virtual machine will allways be the same regardless of what

Hello!
I am planning to install FreeDOS over a clean partition (not VMware,
VirtualPC or similar). I've already gotten the drivers for the mouse and the
CDROM.
Is there any general driver for sound cards?
My sound card is the Intel HDA. Is it possible to configure it under FreeDOS
?
Thanks,
Sa
