Ok, I got onboard audio working in DOS, but my load times are still slow.

I think it's pretty self-explanatory.

How do I get onboard audio working in DOS? I'm sure it depends on the particular onboard audio, right? Is it that hard to get going? I guess I could find a PCI sound card and use that, but I'd rather not.

*Edit* The first few posts pertaining to audio can now be ignored. The important stuff now is the load time issue.

krick:
Only certain onboard sound chips will work in DOS.

And finding DOS sound drivers can be a real pain.  But it can be worth it, IF they exist.

What's the chipset?

JoyMonkey:
I'm not sure what way regular DOS Mame's sound is configured anymore, but I've found that Advance Mame's built-in allegro sound driver works with most onboard sound systems. If it's AC97 sound, the vsync/ac97 driver should work fine.

AlanS17:
It should be AC97. I believe it's a Via chipset, but I'll have to find out which one. I've got the box for the board at home.
