            what do you mean it's "acting like you have windows on it" ?

            most DOS games simply need the BLASTER environment variable to bet set properly.

              most driver installations will set the BLASTER environment variable for you.

              the default, IIRC, is
              Code: [Select]
              SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D3

              which tells the programs that they can find the sound card at address 220, IRQ 5, and DMA 3.

              You can usually find these out using a tool provided with the sound card drivers.

                Some of the older games will ask for an IRQ setting within the game.
                Does sound work when you turn on the computer, or use other applications?
