hi,
recently i've bought an old arcade cabinet (pictures later) and now i'm building a mame-system.
right now i have an older PC with win98SE installed on it.
i'm planning to boot it only in dos, to run arcadeOS in combination with mame or advmame. (and a J-pac)
everything works fine except...the sound.
In the beginning i tried to use the onboard sound chip but that was pretty useless in DOS.
now i've plugged an older "soundblaster PCI 128" in one of the PCI slots of the main board.
in win98 everything works fine.
but if i boot in DOS, sound isn't working
in my autoexec.bat i have the "SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T2" and the correct location of the sndscape.ini file included.
if i start apinit.exe, everything looks fine (i even hear a little cracking noise in the speakers)
if i start apload.exe, no problem.
after that, i try to run aptest.exe and it starts complaining about "could not find PCI audio legacy device"
problem is, i have no idea in what direction i have to find a possible solution.
any ideas anyone?
a great thank you
