DOS Mame sound help.
« on: November 13, 2005, 12:31:09 am »
hi there,

Im building a mame jamma cab in dos and having audio issues.
im running it on dos cos i cant get it to run windows on, the screen doesnt have a vhold so i have to go thru dos.

i can get the games to run but i cant get sound to work.

im using a sbpci64 (says ensoniq on the card)
i get the dos drivers to init and u hear the click of the speakers as this happens so im sure the drivers are ok.
i have tested speakers and they are working.
ive made sure to disable everything on my mobo that might conflict with the irq the sb is using ( ive tried both 10 and 15, they were the only device using this irq so i dont think it was a confiction) turned off pnp and put it to manual and still no luck

i have tried using dmame 0.10 using all possible sound configurations with the card using different irqs, the game wouldnt load. just went back to prompt.

i decided to try advance mame dos.
with advmame for dos i can get the game to run, and i can see audio is being outputted in the sound options using the equalizer. and have tried about 30 different sound options in the advmame.rc file on both irq settings. no sound

to top it off i got another sb card (CT4815) i can get the drivers to init and still no go doing all the same steps above.


here is my autoexec.bat and config.sys i am using:

config.sys >
DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS

autoexec.bat > when using sbpci64

@ECHO OFF
LH DOSKEY
PATH:=C:\

SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4
SET SNDSCAPE=c:\sound\SBPCI64
c:\sound\SBPCI64\APINIT.COM
c:\sound\SMARTDRV.EXE

autoexec.bat > when using sb CT4815

@ECHO OFF
LH DOSKEY
PATH:=C:\

SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H7 P330 T6
SET SBPCI=C:\DOSDRV
C:\DOSDRV\SBLOAD
C:\DOSDRV\SBINIT.COM
C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE

any suggestions?  thx

Do you have your speakers plugged into the correct jack?
